Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said Captain Amarinder Singh was removed from the post of Punjab Chief Minister because he denied providing free electricity to the poor people of the state, citing his contract with the power supply companies.
Addressing a public rally in poll-bound Punjab’s Fatehgarh Sahib, Gandhi said, “I will tell you why was Captain Amarinder Singh removed as the Chief Minister of Punjab. It is because he did not agree to provide free electricity to the poor people. He said I have a contract with the Power supply companies.”
Amarinder Singh was asked to step down as the Chief Minister of Punjab in October last year by Congress. His party named Punjab Lok Congress will be contesting the elections in alliance with the BJP, Shiromani Akali Dal (Sanyukt) led by former Akali Dal leader Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa.
