The political battle in Punjab Congress has now increased to such an extent that now Captain Amarinder Singh’s CM chair seems to be going away. According to the sources, the Congress high command has demanded the resignation of Amarinder Singh. In addition to this, a new leader has also been ordered to be elected in the meeting of legislature party to be held in the evening.
Now, the big question is whether Captain Amarinder Singh will resign for an honorable farewell or will he face a no-confidence motion in the legislature party meeting itself. Yesterday, the Captain has also called a meeting of his camp at around 2 pm. It is believed that the Captain is working on making a strategy to deal with the situation where rebel group will bring no-confidence motion against him. On the other hand Congress high command is going to take a big decision and has called a meeting of the Legislature Party at Punjab Congress Bhawan in Chandigarh at 5 pm today. This meeting is the result of letters by 40 MLAs, mentioning that they are not satisfied with the CM working style.
Punjab Congress in-charge Harish Rawat met Sonia Gandhi, after which Rawat has given information about this meeting of the legislature party on social media on Friday midnight. Ajay Maken and Harish Chaudhary will also be present in this meeting as central observers and will prepare a complete report and send it to the high command.
Meanwhile, former DGP Muhammad Mustafa, strategic advisor to state Congress chief Navjot Sidhu, said through a tweet that the MLAs of Punjab have a chance to choose the Congress CM for four and a half years. He clearly denied Captain Amarinder Singh being a Congressman. Mustafa said that in 2017 Punjab gave 80 MLAs to Congress. Despite this, the Congressmen did not get the Congress CM till date. Mustafa even said that in about four and a half years, the captain did not understand the pain of Punjab and Punjabiyat by heart. Mustafa said that 79 out of 80 MLAs (except the captain) have a chance to get respect.
On behalf of Punjab Congress, President Navjot Sidhu has also tweeted about the Legislature Party meeting. At the same time, his close organization general secretary MLA Pargat Singh said that this meeting has been called to discuss the internal policies of the party. Everyone has their own point of view and it should be heard in the legislature party meeting. What’s the problem with that?
Although it is being said that this meeting of the Congress Legislature Party is about the 18-point formula of the High Command, but seeing the stand of the rebels, it is clear that through this there is a preparation to bring a no-confidence motion against the Captain. Meanwhile, Harish Rawat was also being questioned by the rebel group, in such a situation two central observers are being sent for today’s meeting, so that later no one gets a chance to raise questions.
The assembly elections are to be held next year, in such a situation, Congress would like that this matter should be resolved at the earliest. However, every bet of revolt against the Captain has failed so far. In such a situation, now the Sidhu camp will put full emphasis that in today’s meeting itself, a decision should be taken to remove the captain from the chair. Now the important question is who will get the command if the captain is removed?.
