Punjab CM Faces Tough Match As ‘Captain for 2022’ Fails to Enthuse Team

Despite leading his party to an overwhelming victory in the civic body polls, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh could still face a bumpy ride with some of his own legislators raising questions over the ‘Captain for 2022’ slogan in the run up to the Assembly polls that are less than a year away.

Some party legislators have expressed surprise at the announcement of the Congress party chief Sunil Jakhar that Captain Amarinder could be the face for the next Assembly elections.

While speaking to News18.com, Congress leader Pargat Singh said, “Results of the civic elections are no indicator of the Assembly elections. The previous civic elections were won by the SAD-BJP combine and then they lost the Assembly elections.”

Singh argued that there were certain promises that the Congress party had made to people before coming to power in the State. “Weeding out the drug menace was one of the promises made by the government, generating employment to name a few,” said Singh.
