Amarinder Singh stepped down as Punjab Chief Minister 10 days ago - months before the election and after a long and bitter feud with rival Navjot Sidhu over several issues
Amarinder Singh's Delhi visit is "personal" and there is "no need for speculation", the former Punjab Chief Minister's media advisor tweeted today, after buzz that the veteran politician - one of the Congress' most high-profile faces and someone once seen as extremely close to the Gandhi family - was set to meet BJP chief JP Nadda and Home Minister Amit Shah.

"Too much being read into Captain Amarinder's visit to Delhi. He is on a personal visit, during which he'll meet some friends and vacate the Kapurthala house for the new Chief Minister. No need for any unnecessary speculation," Mr Singh's media advisor, Raveen Thukral, said.
Reports Mr Singh had a meeting lined up with two of the BJP's most senior faces had triggered speculation he could add to the long list of top Congress leaders who have quit the party in recent months - except this would be a massive move, particularly with an election due in Punjab next year.
