Amarinder Singh Affirms Political Alignment with BJP Amidst Congress Speculation
Former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh stated his political allegiance is with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This comes after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi commented on Singh's personal ties. Singh had previously left the Indian National Congress in 2021, citing hurt from the conduct of party leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Vadra Gandhi. Speculation exists regarding whether Singh's return to the political fold will strengthen or further destabilize the Congress party, given his considerable political experience.
