Former Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh downplayed allegations of backroom discussions with the Congress on Friday, saying the “time for reconciliation is past.” Amarinder Singh has stated that he will form his political party shortly and will discuss seat-sharing with the BJP.

 

Amarinder Singh’s aide Raveen Thukral quotes him and said: “Reports of backend talks with Congress are incorrect. The time for rapprochement is over. I’m grateful to Sonia Gandhi Ji for her support but will not stay in Congress now.” Amarinder Singh declared earlier this week that he will create a new political party. He stated that once the Election Commission approves the party’s name and symbol, he will confirm it. Punjab will have elections early next year.

PPCC leader Navjot Sidhu went on a Twitter binge against former Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh while he conducted a press conference here on Wednesday.

 

In one of his tweets, Sidhu said: “We the 78 MLAs of Congress, could never imagine, what we received and arm-twisted, ED controlled BJP loyal Chief Minister of Punjab…who sold the interest of Punjab to save his skin! You were the negative force stalling Justice & development of Punjab.”

 

In another tweet, Sidhu said: “You wanted to close doors on me, as I was raising voice of the People, speaking truth to power! Last time you formed your own party, you lost your ballot, garnering only 856 votes…People of Punjab are again waiting to punish you for compromising on the interests of Punjab !!”

After state Home Minister Sukhjinder Randhawa threatened to investigate Aroosa Alam for ties to Pakistan’s spy organization ISI, former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh put up a vigorous defense of his friend, Pakistani defense writer Aroosa Alam.

 

“I suppose they are all also contacts of the ISI,” he wrote on Facebook after posting more than ten photos of the journalist with Indian leaders including Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, late Union minister Sushma Swaraj, and Union minister Ashwani Kumar.

 

The Congress’s harshest attack yet on Mr. Singh was the Punjab home minister’s threat to have Aroosa Alam examined. The 79-year-old Congressman had turned against the party after it backed Navjot Singh Sidhu in a heated year-long fight that concluded with his resignation from the top office.

Former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, who is on the verge of allying with the BJP and breakaway Akali groups, slammed the Congress, his party of more than 40 years, today. He claimed that the Congress is not a secular party, citing its alliance with the Shiv Sena in Maharashtra and the induction of multiple leaders from the BJP and its mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, including current state Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu.

 

The majority of his rage was directed at Harish Rawat, the Congress in-charge of Punjab, who called Mr. Singh’s announcement on Tuesday shocking and claimed that he had “killed the secular Amarinder within him.”

Everything will be sorted out soon, according to Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu, who said two days after Amarinder Singh resigned as chief minister after a nasty feud with him. He went on to say that Rahul Gandhi’s move in Punjab would echo across India. The new chief minister would choose the cabinet ministers, according to Sidhu.

Meanwhile, Charanjit Singh Channi, who was sworn in as Chief Minister today, pledged action against the sand mafia, a subject that Sidhu had been harping on, implying their ties to Captain.

Employees in the Punjab government who fail to take even the first dosage of the Covid vaccine for reasons other than medical may be forced to take a vacation from September 15. This was announced by chief minister Amarinder Singh on Friday as a move to protect the people of the state from the disease and to ensure that those who are vaccinated do not have to pay the price for those who aren’t.

 

The chief minister said vaccine effectiveness is obvious from the data being analyzed during a high-level virtual Covid review conference held on Friday. Government employees have been targeted specifically, and any who refuse to get vaccinated will now be ordered to take time off until they receive their first dosage.

In the midst of the ongoing crisis in the Punjab Congress, at least 32 MLAs, including four cabinet ministers, revolted against the chief minister and met in Chandigarh today to decide that a five-member delegation would try to meet with the Congress high command today to demand the resignation of Capt Amarinder Singh. They have yet to announce who would be the next chief minister.

All of these cabinet ministers and MLAs from Punjab Congress resident Navjot Singh Sidhu’s camp are skeptical that the party will be able to deliver on all of the promises made before the 2017 state assembly elections under Capt Amarinder’s leadership.

On Thursday, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh agreed to visit the installation event of new Punjab Congress President Navjot Singh Sidhu, thereby ending concerns that he might skip the event.

On Friday, the ceremony will be held. Kuljit Singh Nagra and Sangat Singh Gilzian, two of the four working politicians of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC), met with Amarinder on Thursday afternoon to stretch two requests – one approved by more than 50 MLAs, and a personal letter from Sidhu to the chief minister encouraging him to the event.

After meeting with the chief minister, Nagra stated that he has consented to attend the event, which would be held at the Congress Bhawan in Chandigarh at 11 a.m. on Friday.
