Capt Amarinder Singh.

Captain Amarinder Singh, who was forced to resign from the post of Punjab CM, never listened to the Congress high command. In Punjab, he continued to run the Captain Congress, not the Indian National Congress. The Captain did not have good relations with any of the Congress chiefs in Punjab. Each time he beat the head of the party. Even in the distribution of tickets in the election, the Captain did not allow anyone to run. This time Captain could not stand in front of Navjot Sidhu. The major reason for this is believed to be the distance of the Captain from the party leaders and the dominance of the bureaucracy in Punjab.

Hanspal, Dulo and KP could not stand before the captain

Captain Amarinder Singh was made the President of Punjab Congress in 1999. After which the party won in 2002. He was followed by HS Hanspal in 2002. He could not spend much time. After this, when Shamsher Dulo became the head, the captain did not allow him to stand in Punjab. Then Mohinder Singh KP was made the head. At that time, the Captain clearly refused his team to work under KP. The captain kept working by showing his eyes to the high command. Under compulsion, the Congress high command made the captain again in 2012.

Jat Mahasabha was formed if Bajwa’s feet could not be uprooted.

After this assembly elections were held but the Congress was defeated. Seeing the opportunity, the high command removed the captain from the chair. After this Pratap Singh Bajwa was made the Congress President of Punjab. The captain also tried to amputate his leg. Although Bajwa was also a well-known player of Punjab’s politics. He continued to run the organization on his own terms. To answer this, the Captain formed a Jat Mahasabha. The Captain started challenging the Congress by appointing its office bearers.

If there was a possibility of a split in the Congress, the captain had to be made the head.

At that time the party had become a state of split. The Captain also pointed this out to the Congress High Command. It was also discussed that Captain Jat can contest elections in Punjab by tying up with BJP through Mahasabha. After this the high command had to bow down. After this, Rahul Gandhi explained to Bajwa and made the captain again the head.

Jakhar, who was the head before Sidhu, also had to get angry in CM House.

After this, when Congress came to power, Sunil Jakhar became the President of Punjab Congress. He too once had to go to the CM House and get burnt. He was made to wait to meet the Capt. Even their mobiles were taken out. However, Jakhar did not give much importance to this matter. Even after this, the captain’s distance from the organization continued. Navjot Sidhu took advantage of this and on this basis, the captain’s chair was put in danger.

This was Sidhu's last meeting with the Captain before becoming the Congress President in Punjab.

That’s why the captain was so powerful

When Captain Amarinder Singh was locating one opponent after another, he was accompanied by the political trio of Majha, Tript Rajinder Bajwa, Sukhjinder Randhawa and Sukhbinder Singh Sukh Sarkaria. Even during the elections in 2017, these three remained with the Captain. However, in the changing times, all three of them got away from the captain. Now it is in Sidhu’s camp and led a full-fledged rebellion against Capt.
