Captain Amarinder Singh on Saturday resigned as Chief Minister of Punjab, citing continued humiliation by the Congress leadership over the past two months.

aking a jibe at the defeat of Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh in the long-running battle for the chair of the ruling Congress, senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab leader and Leader of Opposition Harpal Singh Cheema said that the Congress infighting has done a lot of damage to Punjab and its people. He said the people of Punjab have a huge resentment against the Congress. “No matter how many faces, the Congress may change, but in the upcoming elections, the people of Punjab will make the condition of the Congress worse than the Akali-BJP,” he said.

Though congress high command had made an attempt to save the face by appointing Navjot Singh Sidhu,PPCC president in July and now unceremoniously removing Amarinder Singh, yet damage is beyond recovery as only five months have been left in the next assembly elections.

There was the captain, who was most sought after leader after his last term from 2002 to 07, but in stark contrast, there is the captain who has been removed from chief ministership in a humiliated way because the congress high command had clearly learnt that Captain had lost all his popularity and credibility among the masses now and was not in a position to damage the party.

Captain Amarinder Singh’s statement about the protests by the farmers in Punjab was actually either an expression of obligation or veiled threat.

Will Captain Amarinder join BJP in the days to come or will form his own party to forge alliance with saffron party ? these are the questions in the political circle and for answer of this, you will have to wait for at least seven days.
