Chandigarh: Former Punjab Chief Minister and Punjab Lok Congress president Captain Amarinder Singh joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the presence of Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar here today. No other senior BJP leader was present on the occasion though it was earlier said that he would join the BJP during the presence of top BJP leaders.

Following this, Aam Aadmi Party on Monday slammed former Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh for officially joining BJP today and accused him of sabotaging the interest of Punjab for his political career for decades.

Addressing a press conference here, party’s state chief spokesperson Malvinder Singh Kang said that it was an embarrassing state of affairs for Captain as BJP senior leaders including national president or union minister Amit Shah have not even preferred to join him formally, which usually hold such events even for small leaders.

“The BJP has shown the real place to Captain today again. BJP’s Narendra Tomar joined Captain, who advocated black three-farming bills and called Punjabis anti-nationals. It has exposed the real face of Captain that he has always been working against the intrest of Punjab just the sake of power politics, ” Kang said.

Attacking BJP, Kang said that BJP is collecting ‘rubbish’ of Congress but it won’t help them or lead them anywhere in the Punjab.

Kang said that Captain Amarinder has never worked for the welfare of Punjab but only pleased his political boss PM Narendra Modi even being Congress CM for his vested political interests and now he and his gang of thugs, former Congress leaders, joining the BJP.
