Chandigarh: Former Punjab chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Wednesday said that he would launch his new party as soon as the Election Commission (EC) clears the name and symbol.
He also claimed that many Congress leaders were in touch with him and will come out in the open when the time comes.
“We are waiting for the opportune moment. But I will not take their names. Already my supporters are being harassed,” said Amarinder, addressing his first press conference after stepping down as chief minister.
Asked how many MLAs were in touch with him, he quipped, “If Rahul Gandhi needs to have back-to-back meetings with Punjab Congress MLAs, what does it mean? We will fight all 117-seats, either after seat adjustments or on our own. There will be plenty of Congressmen coming in.” Amarinder also claimed that he never spoke about aligning with the BJP, only about seat sharing. “In military parlance it means concentration of forces,” he remarked, adding that he had, however, not yet talked to the BJP on this.
