BJP open to alliance with 'patriot Amarinder Singh'

The Bharatiya Janata Party praised Amarinder Singh as ‘a patriot’ and said that it is open to joining hands with those who put the nation’s interest first.

An alliance between former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh and the BJP seems nearly certain now as the latter responded positively to the idea of an association on Wednesday. The Bharatiya Janata Party praised Amarinder Singh as ‘a patriot’ and said that it is open to joining hands with those who put the nation’s interest first.

The reciprocation from BJP came a day after Amarinder Singh announced his intention to launch a party in Punjab and come to a seat-sharing deal with the BJP if the farmers' issue is resolved in their interest.
