Captain Amarinder Singh meets NSA Ajit Doval a day after his meeting Amit Shah

New Delhi: Former Chief Minister of Punjab, Captain Amarinder Singh meets NSA Ajit Doval on Thursday (September 30, 2021), amid speculations of him joining BJP. The meeting comes a day after Captain Amarinder Singh met Home Minister Amit Shah at his residence in New Delhi. 

The former Chief Minister of Punjab arrived in the national capital on Tuesday amid the ongoing turmoil in Punjab and few days after resigning from the Chief Minister's post. 

Today’s Singh-Doval meeting might fule the already intense speculations about the Punjab Congress leader joining the BJP in the following days. Additionally, it may be noted that many senior BJP and NDA leaders, including Anil Vij and RPI's Ramdas Athawale, had invited Singh to be part of the BJP or the saffron party-led alliance.

Meanwhile, soon after former Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh met Home Minister Amit Shah, the Congress hit out at the BJP leader, alleging his residence has become the "new centre of anti-Dalit politics".

Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala alleged that the arrogance of those sitting in power has been hurt ever since a Dalit has been made the chief minister of Punjab. "The arrogance of the those sitting in power has been hurt. Because if a Dalit is made the chief minister, they ask who is taking the decisions in the Congress," he asked.

"Amit Shah ji and Modi ji are burning in the fire of vengeance from Punjab. They want to take revenge on Punjab as they have so far failed to serve the interests of their capitalist friends with the black anti-farmer laws. BJP's anti-farmer conspiracy will not succeed," he said in a tweet in Hindi, using the hashtag "NoFarmersNoFood".
