Alliance with BJP in national and Punjab's interest, says Amarinder Singh ahead of 2022 Assembly polls

The former CM said that having known Prime Minister Modi for a long time, he had seen him concerned about Punjab and the Punjabis.

Bathinda: Former Punjab CM Amarinder Singh on Tuesday said the BJP is the only party that can take care of the state's security and economic challenges and he slammed Congress and AAP for making poll promises which can't be fulfilled.

Amarinder Singh also claimed his party's alliance with the BJP and Shiromani Akali Dal-Sanyukt for the next year's Assembly polls is in the national and state's interest.

The former chief minister had formed his own party, Punjab Lok Congress, after quitting the ruling Congress in the state following his unceremonious exit as the CM last year.
