Punjab : Amarinder Singh formally announces to quit Congress, sends resignation to Sonia Gandhi

After showing a rebellious attitude for a month, former Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh has formally announced to quit the Congress. Amarinder Singh has sent his resignation to Congress President Sonia Gandhi. Amarinder Singh has already made it clear that he will contest the 2022 Punjab Assembly elections by forming his own party.

Captain Amarinder Singh in his resignation letter sent to Sonia Gandhi accused Navjot Singh Sidhu of making him the president against his will. Amarinder Singh said, “Against my will and in view of the advice of all the MPs, Navjot Singh Sidhu was made the president. Sidhu hugged Pakistan’s Army Chief Bajwa and PM Imran Khan.

Amarinder was opposing Sidhu

Let us tell you that Navjot Singh Sidhu had joined the Congress party just before the 2017 assembly elections. Since the formation of the government in Punjab, the relationship between Amarinder Singh and Sidhu became tense. Sidhu had recently intensified attacks on the Punjab government and in September Amarinder Singh had to step down as Punjab CM.

However, Amarinder Singh is not letting go of any chance to target Sidhu. Amarinder Singh has claimed that he will put all his efforts to defeat Navjot Singh Sidhu in the assembly elections. Amarinder Singh has also talked about seat sharing with BJP by forming a separate party.
