New Delhi: Rajasthan CM and Congress leader Ashok Gehlot on Sunday said that he hopes that Captain Amarinder Singh will not be taking any step that will harm the Congress party. He further said that Captain is a respected leader of the party and he hopes that he will continue to work keeping the interests of the party ahead.
This comes after Captain Amarinder Singh resigned as the chief minister of Punjab on Saturday following months of infighting between him and Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) chief Navjot Singh Sidhu.
Here is what the letter reads:
Also, Lokesh Sharma, Officer on Special Duty (OSD) to Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot, has also offered resignation after a tweet he posted on 18th September sparked controversy amid the political developments in Punjab.
Sources close to Sidhu said, “Whatever name is agreed for the Chief Minister, it will be accompanied by two deputy Chief Ministers. However, the decisions of Deputy Chief Ministers will depend on who has been named as the Chief Minister.”
This development is witnessed just months before the 2022 Punjab Assembly elections.
