Chandigarh: Punjab Congress Chief (PCC) Navjot Singh Sidhu on Tuesday attacked former Chief Minister of Punjab Captain Amarinder Singh and said “I don’t want to talk about spent cartridges. If there were mafias during his regime, then who was earning the money.”
Sidhu also called captain a dying duck in thunderstorm, “You’re a dying duck in a thunderstorm, a lost cause. Your wife is not standing with you. Will she quit Congress, will madam Preneet Kaur leave the party?” Sidhu told the media.
Navjot Singh Sidhu attacked Amarinder Singh after his resignation letter from the Congress mentioned Sidhu was a man of an unstable mind, pro-Pakistan and that he would spoil the Congress party.
While speaking about Amarinder Singh, the Punjab Congress Chief added: “How many seats did he win when he formed a party earlier? He is a fraud.” Sidhu asked if the Captain was sleeping when his people were doing wrong.
Sidhu even said, forget ministers and councilors, not even his wife is joining Amarinder Singh’s new party.
“Not acting against people involved in wrong doings is timid and a show of cowardness. He is a coward,” added Navjot Singh Sidhu.
Over a month after leaving the Congress, former Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on November 2 revealed the name of his new party as Punjab Lok Congress. The registration of the party is pending approval with the Election Commission of India.
Disclosing the party’s name in Chandigarh on Tuesday, Captain Amarinder Singh said, “Since we had announced earlier that we would be forming our own party, our team of lawyers was working on the process and had applied to the Election Commission of India for the registration.” The Election Commission has no objection to the proposed name, he said.
Newfound bonding with CM Channi
A day after meeting Congress MLAs in Chandigarh, Sidhu seemed to be on the same page with Punjab chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi.
“It’s been only a month since Channi has become the CM. What else should he do in such a short span? Electricity rates have been slashed. The price of sand will be fixed. Everything will be done. Whatever could have been done in one month, we have done,” he said in reply to a query about the working of the state government.
