Amarinder Singh had stepped down from the post of Punjab CM last month as he mentioned ‘humiliation’ followed by a discordant power struggle with Punjab MLA Navjot Singh Sidhu who was appointed as the new state Congress president.
Amarinder Singh who is one of the most powerful candidates of Congress said he never experienced this kind of interference before as a CM.
Later Charanjit Singh Channi was elected as the new CM of Punjab.
Amarinder Singh had ridiculed reports of any back-end talks with Congress. He said that the time for rapprochement is gone.
In a tweet, Singh’s media advisor stated that he will launch his party and will hold meetings with BJP for seat sharing after the farmers’ issue is resolved.
