Chandigarh, October 30
Terming as incorrect reports of backend talks with the Congress, former Punjab chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Saturday said the time for rapprochement is over.
“The decision to part ways with party was taken after much thought and is final. I’m grateful to Sonia Gandhi ji for her support but will not stay in Congress now,” Amarinder’s media adviser Raveen Thukral tweeted on behalf of the former chief minister.
Capt Amarinder reiterated what he has been saying in the past. “I will soon launch my own party and will hold talks for seat sharing with BJP, breakaway Akali factions and others for Punjab Elections 2022 once farmers’ issue is resolved. I want to build strong collective force in interest of Punjab and its farmers,” he said.
