On The Townhall, Captain Amarinder Singh lashed out at his opponents in the upcoming Punjab Assembly elections. He called Arvind Kejriwal India's Donald Trump "both of whom talk a lot of nonsense" and said that Parkash Singh Badal was "losing his mind". Calling these elections his last, he advised the Congress to declare its chief ministerial candidate sooner rather than later. He revealed for the first time that he almost left the Congress and told the Gandhis so. "You know what Rahul told me? He said then both of us will lose. I said, 'So be it'," Capt Singh said. He also claimed that Akali ministers were involved in Punjab drug racket and accused the Central government of "protecting" them.
