Chief Minister Punjab Capt. Amrinder Singh quits
Where will go, AAP or else?
Punjab Chief Minister Capt. Amrinder Singh has resigned today.
Singh decided to put in his papers ahead of the crucial Congress Legislature Party meeting in Chandigarh on Saturday evening.
The chief minister met the Punjab governor around 4.45 pm and resigned from his post.
Earlier in the day, Amarinder Singh spoke to Congress president Sonia Gandhi and expressed his anguish and displeasure over his repeated “humiliation”.
They said the decision was taken at a meeting of legislators close to him at the his official residence in Chandigarh a little after 2 pm. The AICC gave its nod to the meeting of the CLP, being held at the Punjab Congress office in Chandigarh, after over 50 MLAs wrote to the party high command that Amarinder Singh be replaced as chief minister.
Its worth mentioning here that elections in the state are due soon.
