CPI's senior leader Joginder Dayal told PTI that his party is holding a meeting at Chandigarh tomorrow where a decision on the issue will be taken.
Bajwa asserted that Congress-PPP tie-up was here to last and it was not a stop-gap arrangement.
Manpreet Badal had floated the PPP three years back after severing ties with SAD and had unsuccessfully contested the 2012 Punjab assembly elections.
Bajwa said the PPP cadre would support the Congress on the seats the party is contesting.
Manpreet quoted a few lines of famous Urdu poet Muneer Niazi to stress that his joining hands with Congress may have come late in the day, but the pact was going to last long.
“It is rule of the mafia in Punjab... I am happy to join hands with a national, secular party to fight this mafia and corrupt forces in the state,” Manpreet said.
Bajwa said inspite of the fact that SAD-BJP got nearly 40 per cent vote share in the last Assembly polls in the state, they managed to form the government.
