Firstpost  

Amarinder, who was one of the Congress’ powerful regional satraps, also said he had never experienced “this sort of interference ever as a chief minister" Former Punjab chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Wednesday said that after he left the Congress, he could have either floated a new party or join someone else, adding that he could not have sat at home as he can do a lot for Punjab. Speaking exclusively to _CNN-News18’_s managing editor Zakka Jacob a day after he announced he would soon launch his political party, Amarinder said, “The Congress decided that I must go, so I have left the party…but I don’t think I will sit at home…I can do a lot for Punjab." Amarinder, who was one of the Congress’ powerful regional satraps, also said he had never experienced “this sort of interference ever as a chief minister." On the newly-appointed chief minister, Amarinder said Channi is a “good boy and hardworking, but it is too little, too late" for Congress.
