Captain was CM for 9 and a half years, this time he lost the election
Captain Amarinder Singh was the CM of Punjab for 9 and a half years. Congress removed him 3 months before elections in 2021. After this he also lost the election from Patiala seat. He had sent his resignation to Sonia Gandhi after leaving the Congress. It was also mentioned in it that he had sent the names of ministers and MLAs involved in illegal mining to the high command but action was not allowed. Even a few days ago, the Captain said that he had a list of corrupt ministers. If the CM asks for God’s honor, he will definitely give it.
