CAPT AMARINDER ON OFFENSIVE MODE
Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee Chief Navjot Singh Sidhu forwarded his resignation to the party high command isolated himself in his house in Patiala making it a high level drama. On the other hand, Capt Amarinder Singh in Delhi met Union Home Minister Amit Shah and National Security Advisor to Prime Minister Ajit Doval creating atmosphere of speculations in the Congress in regard to his future course of action. Senior Congress leaders and party observers Harish Rawat and Harish Chaudhary rushed to Chandigarh for a dialogue between Sidhu and Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi to find out a solution and succeeded as Sidhu came to Chandigarh from Patiala at Punjab Bhawan for dialogue meeting, Whatever have been the outcome of the meeting but one thing is clear that the Punjab Assembly Elections 2022 will be very interesting. The war of words between Harish Rawat and Capt Amarinder and yesterday war of words between Congress general secretary and spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala and Capt Amarinder has further raised the eye brows of the Congress leaders and masses. There are rumours that what action will Capt Amarinder take in future. Capt Amarinder is known for taking bold decisions and steps, and always stands to his words before going through the future consequences with a calculative move. There were rumours that Capt Amarinder will leave Congress and not join BJP to which Capt Amarinder himself committed, as there is one alternative that he can float a party and can have seat adjustments with any national party. Rumours that Capt Amarinder can play positive and decisive role through amicable talks neutralizing the farmers movement and come out with flying colors in getting compromise between the Union Government and the farmers unions on farm laws with certain conditions acceptable to the farmer unions. The exit of Capt Amarinder from the Congress can cost the party dearer in the coming Punjab assembly elections 2022. Even though Channi has announced freebies for the people of Punjab.
ALL IS NOT WELL IN CONGRESS
