Capt Amarinder Singh to run from Patiala

Close on the heels of PCC chief Navjot Sidhu announcing his decision to contest from Amritsar, ex-CM Capt Amarinder Singh has said he will carry forward his four centuries of family legacy by contesting from the Patiala (Urban) segment.

A post on his ‘Punjab Da Captain’ Facebook page states Capt Amarinder will contest from Patiala and “will not leave the 400-year-old family legacy of the former princely state” for Sidhu’s sake. The statement comes after the ex-CM had dared Sidhu to contest from Patiala. The ex-CM is said to be waiting for a meeting with the BJP leadership, ahead of the elections. — TNS
