Captain, who’s in the midst of a massive rebellion in his party’s state unit is looking to chart out a fresh strategy ahead of the polls next year to repeat the massive success he got in 2017.

Captain, who’s in the midst of a massive rebellion in his party’s state unit is looking to chart out a fresh strategy ahead of the polls next year to repeat the massive success he got in 2017.
Notably, it was Kishor who had crafted Singh’s 2017 campaign.
Although a major hurdle this time for Amarinder Singh is his public feud with Navjot Singh Sidhu who’s looking for a greater role in the party.
A Congress panel has suggested that Mr. Sidhu be either made Punjab Congress chief or accommodated in a cabinet reshuffle in the state.

Amarinder Singh, say sources, is resisting both options even though he told the media on Tuesday: “I don’t know anything about Sidhu saab. Whatever is the decision, whatever the Congress president wants, we will follow it.”, NDTV reported.
According to reports, in his meetings with leaders in Delhi, Amarinder Singh was reportedly also urged to work on his poll promises – something Mr Sidhu has held against him.
After bringing Mamata Banerjee and MK Stalin to power in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu respectively, Prashant Kishor recently grabbed headlines as he met NCP Sharad Pawar thrice in the span of a month, with possible rumours of a third front against the BJP.
