The former Chief Minister ran for office in Punjab in an alliance with the BJP, but he was unsuccessful. On his own soil, Patiala Urban, he was defeated. All of his candidates lost as well.
Following spinal surgery in London, Singh, also known as “Captain,” has just made his way back to India. Last week, he met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. On Monday morning, he also met with BJP leader JP Nadda.
