Charanjit Channi, Navjot Sidhu ‘useless’, Congress will be wiped out in Punjab: Amarinder Singh

New Delhi: Punjab Lok Congress supremo Captain Amarinder Singh on Sunday (February 20) pummeled his ex-colleagues Navjot Singh Sidhu and Charanjit Singh Channi and claimed Congress will be wiped out from Punjab in the ongoing Assembly elections.

The former Punjab CM, who is contesting from Patiala, said he is confident of winning from his home turf. "I am certain of winning Patiala. I think we will win the elections...They (Congress) live in a different world & will be wiped out in Punjab,” Singh was quoted as saying by ANI. 

Further, he said, “Over 30% voter turnout has been recorded till 1pm, this is a good sign. We will see a very good win in Patiala and nearby seats. If BJP-PLC and Dhindhsa's party is getting a good response, then what else do we need.”

Captain also predicted that his former party will bag only 20-30 seats in the 117-member Assembly. “They (Congress) are concerned about what I am able to achieve in Punjab which is going against them. I can predict that Congress will not get more than 20-30 seats,” he claimed.
