I had offered to quit, was asked to stay: Amarinder

“Gandhi siblings are inexperienced and their advisors are clearly misguiding them”
Former Punjab Chief Minister and Congress leader Amarinder Singh said on Wednesday that he had offered to resign three weeks ago, but was asked to continue.
“I was ready to leave after a victory, but never after a loss. I had offered my resignation to Congress president Sonia Gandhi three weeks ago, but she asked me to continue. If she had just called me and asked me , I would have,” he said. “As a soldier, I know how to do my job and leave once I am called back.”
Capt. Amarinder said he had told Ms. Gandhi after leading the Congress to another sweeping win in Punjab that he was ready to hang up his boots and allow someone else to take over as Chief Minister. “But that did not happen, so I will fight,” he said.
