Former CM Capt Amarinder Singh today slammed the Congress over “preposterous lies” being floated by various party leaders in a bid to cover up their “mishandling of the crisis” in the state.
Pointing to the conflicting numbers shared by Harish Rawat and Randeep Surjewala on the purported letter received by the party’s central leadership expressing lack of confidence against him, Capt Amarinder termed it a comedy of errors.
His remarks came after Surjewala claimed that 78 of the 79 Punjab Congress MLAs had written to the party leadership seeking Capt Amarinder’s ouster. But, a day earlier, Rawat had, in a press statement, said 43 MLAs had written to the high command on the issue. “It seems the entire party has become imbued with Navjot Singh Sidhu’s sense of comic theatrics,” he said.
“This is the state of affairs in the party. They cannot even coordinate their lies properly,” he said, adding that the Congress was in a state of disarray and the crisis seemed to be escalating by the day. He said it was sad to see the way Congress leaders were resorting to lies to justify their wrongdoings.
