Chandigarh: Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Saturday submitted his resignation as Chief Minister before the Punjab Governor here.
He cited humiliation by the party and said he had conveyed his lament to Congress president Sonia Gandhi in a phone call.
Captain said, “I called Sonia Gandhi and told her that I am resigning. This was the third time in recent months that they called the MLAs. I feel humiliated the way things were handled,” said Singh whose tenure as CM lasted nine and a half years.
He, however, said that he had resigned as CM but not from the party and he would decide the future course of action in consultation with friends and supporters.
