Punjab and Kerala BJP Coming with new Face , Captain Amarinder Singh joining BJP, Ex-Punjab CM likely to be inducted into Union Cabinet, say sources

By - Siju Kuriyedam Sreekumar -- Wednesday, September 29, 2021 , 02:09 PM


        NEW DELHI: Central BJP team planning to restructure the Punjab and Kerala BJP team .
       Captain Amarinder Singh is scheduled to arrive in the national capital on Tuesday evening, days after he quit as the Chief Minister of Punjab amid political turmoil in the Congress-ruled state. After his arrival here, the Punjab Congress veteran is expected to hold a series of meetings with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP national president JP Nadda.

The proposed Singh-Shah-Nadda meeting has triggered intense speculations about the Punjab Congress leader joining the BJP in the days to come. Some Media sources said that Captain Amarinder Singh may be inducted into PM Narendra Modi's Council of Ministers as Union Agriculture Minister.

It has also emerged that the BJP central leadership may help Captain Amarinder Singh float a new political outfit in case he refuses to join BJP.  This way, Singh would be persuaded to be part of the BJP-led NDA alliance at the Centre. However, there is no official confirmation around it and these are just speculations at the moment.

Captain Amarinder Singh had resigned as the chief minister of Punjab following months of infighting between him and Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) chief Navjot Singh Sidhu.

Speaking to reporters shortly after resigning as chief minister, Amarinder Singh said he felt "humiliated" at the manner in which he was treated by the Congress high command.

Captain Amarinder Singh had even called Navjot Singh Sidhu "incompetent" and "anti-national".  Asked if he would endorse Sidhu as his successor, Amarinder Singh had then that he would oppose such a proposition "tooth and nail".

Replying to a question about his joining BJP, Singh said, ''I will consult with my supporters and decide the future course of action." 

Singh added that he was still a member of the Congress party.  All these development came just four months ahead of assembly elections in Punjab.

The Congress central leadership later appointed Charanjit Singh Chani as the new Chief Minister of Punjab. 

            Same time  Central BJP team planning to restructure the Kerala BJP team after continuous failure and issues, Suresh Gopi's name comes from many areas as head of Kerala BJP. Reason for nominating Suresh Gopi's name is, he is popular, accepted for all religions and cast, no controversy, well known actor, good orator and public figure, heard from some sources.  But Post of Kerala BJP head is very tough job because lot of groups in between BJP in Kerala and they are not ready to work together this advantage using by LDF and UDF to defeat BJP.
