LIVE! Capt Amarinder on Jaitley: Would never engage him to fight my case

April 09, 2014 14:15

Beginning of a war of words between Amritsar candidates? Senior Congress leader and party candidate from Amritsar Captain Amarinder Singh says he would "not even engage him (Arun Jaitley) to fight my case in a district court, that is what I think about him as a lawyer."

The former Punjab chief minister who will take on Arun Jaitley from the constituency challenged the BJP on Monday and said it has betrayed its real communal and sectarian instincts in the manifesto itself, and added that the fake facade of development the BJP is trying to project over communalism and Hindutva has already started wearing off.

He hoped that Jaitely, "who is fond of discussing and debating the national issues as he has been regularly boasting about his expertise on national affairs," would spell out his stand vis-a-vis these three important issues which have a crucial bearing on Punjab as well.
