Captain Amarinder Singh lashes out at Sidhu, Rawat

Former Chief Minister of Punjab Captain Amarinder Singh on Thursday lashed out at state Congress incharge Harish Rawat as well as PPCC president Navjot Singh Sidhu. In a series of tweets by his media advisor Raveen Thukral, Captain Amarinder Singh targeted Rawat for his recent comments related to him (Amarinder) and Sidhu for his fresh tweet, showing an old video of former CM.

Captain said to Harish Rawat by tweeting, ‘Stop talking about secularism @harishrawatcmuk ji. Don’t forget @INCIndia took in @sherryontopp after he was with @BJP4India for 14 years. And where did Nana Patole and Revnath Reddy come from if not RSS? And Pargat Singh was with @Akali_Dal_ for 4 years!’

He further said, ‘And what are you doing with @ShivsenaComms in Maharashtra? Or are you saying @harishrawatcmuk Ji that it’s ok to join forces with so-called communal parties as long as it suits @INCIndia purpose. What’s this if not sheer political opportunism?’ Captain continued saying, ‘Today you’re accusing me of helping my rival @Akali_Dal_ for 4 and a half years @harishrawatcmuk ji. Is that why you think I’ve been fighting court cases against them for the last 10 years? And why I’ve won @INCIndia all elections in Punjab since 2017?’

He summed up his attack on Rawat saying, ‘You’re apprehension I’ll damage @INCIndia interests in Punjab. Fact is @harishrawatcmuk ji, the party has damaged its own interests by not trusting me and giving @INCPunjab into the hands of an unstable person like @sherryontopp who’s only loyal to himself.’

Targeting Navjot Singh Sidhu through another series of tweets by Raveen Thukral, Captain Amarinder said, “What a fraud and cheat you are @sherryontopp! You’re trying to pass off my 15-year-old crop diversification initiative as connected with #FarmLaws, against which I’m still fighting and with which I’ve linked my own political future!” “It’s obvious @sherryontopp you’re clueless about Punjab’s & its farmers’ interests. You clearly don’t know the difference between diversification & what the #FarmLaws are all about. And yet you dream of leading Punjab. How dreadful if that ever happens!” the former CM said.
