Captain Amarinder Singh’s new political innings has raised the concern of Congress from Punjab to Delhi. The Congress is afraid of splitting the cadre votes in the next Viss elections. The Congress has understood that Amarinder may not win, but his victory will definitely become a threat.
Congress wants to stop Amarinder from contesting elections by forming a new party. For this, he has met and talked to some senior Congress leaders. However, Amarinder has given him a clear answer that he will contest on 117 seats in any case.
Considering the condition of Congress in Punjab, the national leadership is also looking for an alternative. Especially, brainstorming is going on to deal with the new innings of Captain Amarinder Singh. Congress can also announce district heads soon. This will try to keep the organization tied. For this Navjot Sidhu can be called to Delhi soon.
3 big losses due to Amarinder’s departure
- Party breaks: There is a possibility of a break in the Congress as soon as the Captain forms the party. Many big leaders are angry with Sidhu’s coronation. He can go slowly with the Captain.
- Congress votes will be divided: Congress believes that Congress has a strong vote bank in Punjab. Captain remained in Congress for about 42 years. He was the Chief Minister of Punjab 3 times and CM for 9 and a half years for 2 times. In such a situation, the vote bank will be divided if they contest separately.
- Ticket Rebellion: It is difficult to satisfy everyone at the time of ticket distribution in Congress. Especially, the situation will be challenging for the Punjab Congress, which is mired in discord. In such a situation, the rebel Congress captain can harm the Congress.
Amarinder is against Sidhu but he has been praising CM Channi
CM Channi also in favor of not contesting the election of Captain
If sources are to be believed, CM Charanjit Channi was called to Delhi and his opinion was also asked. Channi met MPs Ambika Soni, Ajay Maken and Pawan Bansal. The CM has also spoken about the loss to the Congress in the event of the Captain contesting the election. However, nothing has been said about this officially from the Congress or the CM side.
Amarinder in favor of a solution to the first peasant movement
If sources are to be believed, Captain Amarinder Singh has ruled out any official talks with the Congress. He said that first he will meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah. If a solution is found unanimously for the farmers’ movement, then we will see further.
