Opponents worried about Amarinder’s new innings: 52 years of political career; Became CM on his own 2 times; Farmers’ movement in Punjab will set foot

Captain Amarinder Singh’s new political innings has increased the concern of opposition parties including Congress. The major reason for this is Amarinder’s political stature in Punjab. Amarinder is so far the only face in Punjab, before whom the political grip of the Badal family has become loose. From villages to cities, Captain is a big face as Chief Minister. Amarinder has 52 years of experience in the politics of Punjab. Two times he brought the Congress to power on his own.

A month ago, he was humiliated and had to leave the CM’s chair. Now he can set foot again by getting a solution to the farmers’ movement. With the announcement of forming a new party and entering the election fray by forming an alliance with the BJP, the Congress is most afraid of losing ground. Amarinder may announce a new party soon.

This is the reason why all the teams are busy handling the new political bet of Captain. That is why the issue of the Captain’s nexus with the BJP is being fueled. The eyes of the opponents are on the atmosphere created against the BJP in Punjab due to the farmers’ movement. At the same time, efforts are being made to settle Amarinder as well. However, Amarinder is a seasoned player. In 2014, Amarinder defeated veteran BJP leader Arun Jaitley in the Lok Sabha elections from Amritsar after campaigning for a month in the Modi wave.

Why Amarinder is effective in Punjab?

When Amarinder increased the rates of sugarcane as CM, the farmers made his mouth sweet

good relations with farmer leaders

Amarinder has good relations with farmer leaders. He fully supported the movement against the agricultural reform laws of the central government as CM. For a month, there was an unrelenting movement in Punjab. The march of the farmers of Punjab to Delhi was not stopped even at the behest of the Centre. When farmers were lathi-charged in Haryana, Amarinder lashed out at the Khattar government there. Amarinder’s closeness with farmer leaders was visible even when sugarcane rates increased. Farmer leaders got his face sweetened, the picture of which became very viral. Amarinder stood by the farmers in their time of need. Now if Amarinder is needed, he can get full support from the farmers. From here it seems that Amarinder can get the solution resolved by becoming a mediator between the Center and the United Kisan Morcha.

There is a possibility of a big break in the Congress victim of discord

The biggest concern of Amarinder’s new innings is the Punjab Congress. There is already a conflict between the organization and the government. Even after a month of efforts by the high command, the discord continues. Punjab Congress Chief Navjot Sidhu is now clashing with new CM Charanjit Channi. In such a situation, as soon as Amarinder’s new party is formed, the leaders are sure to break at a large level. These include leaders removed from the post of ministers as well as ignored leaders from the organization. The ongoing split in Punjab Congress will give strength to Amarinder.

This is the reason why attacks on Amarinder started from Punjab to Delhi as soon as the captain was announced. Punjab Deputy CM Sukhjinder Randhawa called the Captain an opportunist. Ministers Pargat Singh and Amarinder Singh Raja Vading also attacked Capt. Punjab Congress Harish Rawat also raised questions on Captain’s relationship with BJP.

Hindu vote bank

The caste arithmetic of vote bank is no less effective in Punjab elections. So far all the focus has been on 19% of the Jatt Sikh population. For the first time, politics took place with 31.94% of the scheduled caste votes. Seeing this, Congress made a Scheduled Caste CM. The issue went to the Congress. After this, now all eyes are on the 38.49% Hindu vote bank. If Amarinder gets the support of BJP, it will be a profitable deal for him.
