Amarinder won't make any difference: Badal
WSN Network

BANUR: Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal has said former CM Capt Amarinder Singh's appointment as Congress Campaign Committee chairman for Punjab will not be any challenge for Akalis in Lok Sabha.

Badal's comments are in keeping with the typically derisive style of politics where politicians always say the other will not have any impact, no matter how progressive or politically challenging the development. The idea of rival candidates praising each other is almost non-existent and personal attacks are made blatantly and more often than not from behind a mike.

“We have seen his (Amarinder’s) capability as CM as during his tenure he could manage to win only two seats and we in Opposition captured 11 out of 13,” Badal said, not caring to mention that during his own CMship, the Congress had returned much better figures in 1998.
