Capt Amarinder alleged that the Narendra Modi government unleashed a “political vendetta” against his party’s top leadership and said he may be the next target.
“It is totally a political vendetta they have unleashed. Be it our party president Sonia (Gandhi) ji, Vice-President Rahul ji or P Chidambaram’s son or Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh, everyone is being targeted,” the Congress’ Deputy leader in the lok Sabha told a news conference here.
He said Congress will fight back and “if they (the NDA government) think they can put pressure like this and they can browbeat us, they are mistaken.”
Claiming that he may be the next target, Singh said, “I am prepared. They feel if targeting anyone can improve party’s prospects, go after him... Otherwise why are they pushing itIJ There’s nothing in it,” he said while making a reference to the National Herald case.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has still not forgotten losing the Amritsar seat (to Amarinder). “So the next raid will be against me,” Singh alleged.
He mentioned the alleged foreign bank accounts case involving his family members and said “the HSBC bank authorities had in 2012 said they had no account in the bank.”
