Jasbir Singh Gill, Amarinder Singh’s spouse Preneet Kaur, ex-Union Minister Manish Tewari, Congress’ Lok Sabha prime whip Ravneet Singh Bittu, and Mohammad Sadique are among the many disgruntled MPs, in response to a report in Republic.
Rahul Gandhi, together with the Congress’ 109 candidates for the Punjab elections, paid obeisance on the Golden Temple earlier within the Day. Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal downplayed the accusations of a “boycott,” saying they had been “baseless rumours” and “not true.”
Congress gained 77 seats within the 117-member Punjab Assembly in 2017, whereas Shiromani Akali Dal solely managed to win 18 seats. The politics of the state has been in chaos since Navjot Singh Sidhu was appointed chief of the Punjab Congress. Captain Amarinder Singh resigned as Chief Minister, saying that the social gathering had humiliated him and labelling Navjot Singh Sidhu a nationwide safety risk. Captain Amarinder Singh afterwards fashioned his personal political social gathering in preparation for the upcoming Punjab Assembly elections.
Punjab’s 2022 Legislative Assembly elections will happen in a single section on February 20, 2022, with outcomes introduced on March 10.
