Capt failed to keep promises to people: Cong

October 01, 2021 16:03

Congress's Punjab in-charge Harish Rawat's second salvo at former Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh.

Rawat told reporters today, amid a spiraling crisis in the Punjab Congress, that there was a general perception throughout Punjab that Captain and the Badals are helping each other and they have a secret understanding.

"Many prominent ministers came to Delhi with the complaint that with Captain at the helm of affairs, the Congress can't win the elections," Rawat said.

He added that the former CM had been warned of disaffections in the party but he did not act on it.

"Despite continuous reminders from his colleagues and the leadership, unfortunately, Captain Amarinder failed to keep his promises on important issues like Bargadi, drugs, electricity etc.

"I discussed these issues at least five times with Captain sahib but with no result," Rawat said.

Earlier today, Rawat said that Singh's outburst that he was not treated well by the party is not true. "It is being said that he was humiliated. I would like to clarify that the party has always given him respect and treated him with high regard."
