Navjot Kaur Sidhu said, “None of the Congress MLAs will join Amarinder’s Party except for….”

Chandigarh : Congress Leader Navjyot Kaur Sidhu on Tuesday asserted that none of the Congress members will join Amarinder’s party except for those who own him a favor or might have got one from him.

“I don’t think any Congress MLA will leave and join Amarinder Singh’s party. If he gave favours to anyone then they might go,” she said.

When she was questioned about the Former Punjab Chief Minister’s ‘new political party,’ she said that those who are really attached to the Congress, will never leave the party.

She took a dig at the former chief minister, saying that despite getting all the freedom from the Congress, Amarinder did not trusted any of the worker with power. She questions, “He was given all the freedom by the party but he didn’t give power to any worker, never openly met any minister or MLA. Who will trust him?”

“It would’ve been best for him if he had joined Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD). It would’ve laid people’s suspicion to rest and he would’ve been able to win a few seats,” Navjot Kaur further added.

Earlier this month, it was learnt that Amarinder Singh will launch a new political party to fight the forthcoming Assembly polls in the state and hopes for a tie-up with the BJP if the ongoing protest by farmer unions against three farm laws is resolved “in farmers’ interest”.

In a series of tweets by the ex-Chief Minister’s media advisor Raveen Thukral, the former chief minister said he is looking at an alliance with like-minded parties such as breakaway Akali groups, “particularly Dhindsa and Brahmpura factions”.

Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa on Tuesday, however, said if Amarinder Singh floated a new political outfit, he would be making a “big mistake”.

Singh’s face in Punjab will be “scarred”, Randhawa said, and added that the Congress gave respect to Amarinder Singh and he enjoyed several posts in the party.
