Canada Uber Driver Tells Passenger He Would Have ‘Kidnapped Her If It Was Pakistan’
CHANDIGARH, September 22: Congress Deputy Leader in the Lok Sabha Capt Amarinder Singh today dismissed the claims and charges levelled by Partap Singh Bajwa against him as the “schizophrenic symptoms of a failed and frustrated man desperate about his own political survival”.
“It is natural for a failed and frustrated man like Bajwa to fulminate like this and clutch at the straws as he sees his removal imminent and inevitable”, Capt Amarinder said in a statement before leaving for a week long private visit to London.
“Had he (Bajwa) spent as much energy and resources in working for the party, as he is spending in hallucinating about my forming a new party, naming it and even imagining the date and place for its announcement, I am sure he would have been surely in a better and stable state of mind today”, the former Chief Minister observed, while adding, “Bajwa can still do himself a favour by listing his achievements if he has any, instead of writing my progress report and counting the pictures on the posters and banners put up in our rallies and still lying about these”.
The veteran Congress leader asserted that the ability and the strength of a leader lies not in trying to be more loyal than the king, but in the love and affection he gets from the masses. “For the first time in history of the state Congress president has repeatedly announced programmes and subsequently cancelled these as he failed to get any response from workers”, he pointed out, asking him to tell which of the programmes he announced and completed.
“Rather at one of the places, in Ludhiana, he literally ran away midway from a party function to avoid protesting party workers and addressed a press conference at a safe distance of 100 kms away in Chandigarh”, Capt Amarinder pointed out, while adding, no PCC president has proved to be so unpopular as Bajwa so much so people have been telling him to keep away from their programmes and rallies.
“Unfortunately this man (Bajwa) spent all his energies in trying to be SEEN as more loyal than the king (he can never actually be loyal to anyone as deceit and betrayal is in his DNA) while ignoring the masses and that is the reason why he stands isolated and marginalised today in the party so much so that he could not retain even his own assembly segment, leave aside the parliament constituency”, he observed.
Reacting to Bajwa’s statement that he should be expelled from the party, Capt Amarinder said, the Congress workers from all over Punjab have already pronounced the verdict on the matter as who actually deserves to be expelled, if not already expelled, by marking mammoth presence in his (Capt Amarinder’s) political rallies while rejecting Bajwa to the extent that his entry to these public meetings was forbidden by the organisers and common workers. “It is hilarious for someone like Bajwa, who already stands expelled from the hearts and minds of the people and the party workers, to seek my expulsion”, he remarked.
