"He (Charanjit Singh Channi) is not doing his job. He is touring the state," former Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh told NDTV
Punjab's former Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh has criticised his successor Charanjit Singh Channi as someone who "tried to backstab me". In an interview with NDTV, Amarinder Singh, who broke away from the Congress to form his own party, said Mr Channi is not an efficient leader and "fears me".
Amarinder Singh resigned as Chief Minister late last month after a tumultuous series of events in the Punjab Congress that prompted him to mince no words in criticising party chief Sonia Gandhi.
"Channi can say whatever he likes to, he fears me. He tried to stab me in the back to become the Chief Minister," Amarinder Singh told NDTV today.
"He (Mr Channi) is not doing his job. He is touring the state. I have dealt with at least 14 general secretaries. This man (Harish Chaudhary) has been sitting in very meeting where he has no right to be in. He is running the Punjab government, not Channi," the former chief minister said.
