Punjab Congress on Sunday asked the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) spokesperson Sukhpal Singh Khaira not to worry about the Congress and pose the leadership questions to his own leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and not State Congress president Capt Amarinder Singh.
“We, in the Congress, know what role suits whom the best, you better worry about the party you are staying with for the time being,” said party’s State vice-president Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa.
“Or was it just a case of a misplaced query as you actually wanted to ask this question to Kejriwal and in the thought process instead mentioned Capt Amarinder, who does not seem to be going out of your mind till now,” Randhawa taunted Khaira.
“And let me assure you that Capt Amarinder for certain is going to be the Chief Minister of Punjab after 2017 elections and as regards the role of the leader of Opposition, you should better ask about it to Kejriwal, who, you must realise, is now your new master and is desperately aspiring for a role in Punjab,” he told the AAP spokesperson.
Randhawa reminded Khaira that not long ago, rather less than a year ago, when Capt Amarinder was appointed the PPCC president, he (Khaira) was first to welcome it and assert that this was the best thing to have happened to the Congress. “And probably that may be the reason you continue to show your concern about Capt Amarinder, as they say old habits die hard”, he told Khaira.
