Captain Amarinder Singh is not only a big name in politics but also holds the distinction of being a former royal. The 15th Chief Minister of Punjab is the son of the last Maharaja of Patiala, Yadvendra Singh. He was also commissioned into the Indian Army in 1963 and was posted in the 2nd Bn Sikh Regiment, with both his father and grandfather also serving in the battalion.
Later, Captain had a very successful career in politics. Everything was going its way in March 2017, when the Congress came to power in the state with more than two-thirds majority, pushing its arch-rival Shiromani Akali Dal to third place. However, recent developments have changed his future prospects in politics.
