Captain Amarinder Singh Vs Partap Singh Bajwa

Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today said that some forces are trying to push the state into "turbulent times" during militancy by vitiating its peaceful atmosphere and urged people to not fall prey to their "divisive agenda."

Senior Congress leader Captain Amarinder Singh today said the party "does not need any allies" in Punjab for the 2017 Assembly elections as it was already in a "strong position to wrest power from the Akali-BJP alliance on its own".

The Congress may appoint senior leader and former Union minister Ambika Soni as the Punjab unit chief to put an end to the infighting between two groups led by former chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh, and the current state chief, Pratap Singh Bajwa, who have been locked in a bitter battle for control of the party's state unit, say sources.

Former Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh's new campaign to reach out to the masses has incensed his Congress party colleagues. Defying orders of the state Congress, Mr Singh has decided to go ahead with his 12-day mass contact program.
