Speaking on the joining of Manshahia, Amarinder Singh said,” Nazar Singh would strengthen the Congress, which was riding a wave of a strong public mood in its favour. He further added that people from other parties who had the interest of the state at heart were joining the Congress in Punjab in large numbers. It was a clear sign of a complete disillusionment with the AAP, which had lost its locus standi amid a party-wide rebellion.
