BJP leader Capt. Amarinder Singh praises Congress' 'flexibility', calls BJP rigid
PTC News Desk: BJP national executive Capt. Amarinder Singh has called his party's approach rigid in terms of its working and governance in Punjab, even as the Congress party is more flexible and has a consultative outlook.
Captain Amarinder Singh who remained Punjab's Chief Minister twice during Congress tenure joined the BJP in 2022 after merging his party, the Punjab Lok Congress (PLC). He left party and alleged misconduct by party leader Sonia Gandhi and her children – Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Vadra Gandhi.
Singh's latest remarks come ahead of Punjab Assembly Elections slated in 2027, which holds significant political reverance as BJP continues to expand its footprints and establish itself as a crucial political force in Punjab.
Talking to select media, Mr. Singh said “..Punjab is a different area. Look at it, everywhere the BJP is pulling through, why not in Punjab? See previous elections, how many seats have some, hardly any.”
“And the reason is that you (BJP) don’t consult people who have been in the field, who know what to say. The decisions are taken at the upper level, even in the Congress, the decisions were taken at the top level, but they used to consult us, everyone – MLAs, MPs’ views were taken. Here (BJP), I don’t think anyone has asked,” he further said.
In response to a quesion on the possibility of him joining back Congress, he rejected the speculationsand said that the way he was removed from the post of Chief Minister, still haunts him. Therefore there is no chance that he will be joining Congress.
