Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president Capt Amarinder Singh on Friday dismissed the Awaaz-e-Punjab front led by former parliamentarian Navjot Singh Sidhu as “too insignificant and too inconsequential” to have any impact on the political scenario in the State.
“Three MlAs don’t make a political party,” he remarked while adding that they were themselves not even sure or confident about what they were doing and seeking to do.
The former Chief Minister interacting with reporters along the sidelines of his ‘Coffee with Captain’ programme, also clarified that neither he nor the Congress party had sent any emissaries to invite Sidhu to join the party.
“I had only said, he was welcome to join the party since he and also Pargat Singh had the Congress background as their families were actively involved with the party,” he said, while adding Sidhu should name the people from the Congress who went to meet him on his behalf.
PPCC president said that the Congress did not face any challenge from anyone and the party will comfortably form the Government in the State.
He said the Akalis are finished while the AAP has already imploded. Capt Amarinder strongly defended his stand against any outsider seeking to become the Chief Minister of Punjab.
“That is why I have challenged Kejriwal that I will fight against him from any constituency he chooses to contest from in Punjab,” he said, while adding, “I am clear about it that Punjab is for Punjabis only”.
