Congress candidate from Amritsar Capt Amarinder Singh on Friday maintained that his SAD-BJP combine rival Arun Jaitley has already lost confidence in workers and supporters from Amritsar, and that was the reason why he was “importing” workers from New Delhi.
The former Punjab Chief Minister referred to Jaitley’s statement that a number of RSS and BJP workers, besides some film stars, had already come to Amritsar to campaign for him.“Either he has lost his confidence or he has no faith in local workers of his own party,” said Capt Amarinder, while addressing a public meeting at Sultanwind in Amritsar South Assembly segment.“Otherwise, there is no reason or logic in bringing workers from outside... Elections are not won by glamour but grass-roots appeal…but, I can understand since Jaitley does not know as he happens to be new to electoral politics,” said Capt Amarinder.
