New Delhi: Almost a week after resigning as Punjab chief minister, senior Congress leader Capt Amarinder Singh would meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

There is, however, no official confirmation of the meeting yet but is being speculated that former CM is likely to join the BJP party and he would be allotted portfolio of agriculture minister, a close aide of Congress leader said.

The proposed Singh-Shah meeting has triggered intense speculation in the Punjab politics as Captain is annoyed with senior Congress high command due to prolonged infighting in the Punjab Congress and later the party high command had asked Captain Amarinder Singh to step down from the Chief Minister post followed by Navjot Singh Sidhu appointed as Punjab Congress unit chief.
