Ex-Punjab CM denies reports of back-end talks with party
Former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Saturday dismissed reports of back-end talks with the Congress, saying the time for rapprochement is over and his decision to leave the party is final.
Mr. Singh reiterated that he will soon launch his political party and said he wanted to build “a strong collective force in the interest of Punjab”.
“Reports of backend talks with @INCIndia are incorrect. The time for rapprochement is over. The decision to part ways with the party was taken after much thought and is final. I’m grateful to [Congress president] Sonia Gandhi ji for her support but will not stay in Congress now [sic],” tweeted Singh’s media advisor quoting the former Chief Minister.

What began as a simple way to stay active soon grew into something larger. The couple converted the garden of their Ashok Nagar residence into a pickleball court, now known as Pickleball Point, envisioning it as a lively space where people from all age groups could gather, play and connect. “It started at home, as something for my husband and me to stay engaged,” she says. “As senior citizens, we wanted to enjoy the energy of people coming in and playing,” she further adds.
