Rahul Gandhi ‘reveals’ why Congress removed Capt Amarinder Singh as Punjab CM

Rahul Gandhi claimed that Congress removed Captain Amarinder Singh as CM because he refused to provide free electricity to poor people in Punjab. 

NEW DELHI: Possibly breaking his silence for the time over the unceremonious exit of Capt Amarinder Singh as Punjab CM, Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday claimed that the party veteran failed to solve Punjab's electricity issues.

While addressing a rally in Punjab's Fatehgarh Sahib, the Congress leader said that Capt Amarinder Singh also had ‘close links with the BJP'. Rahul further claimed that Congress removed Captain Amarinder Singh because he refused to provide free electricity to poor people in Punjab. 

"I will tell you why Capt Amarinder Singh was removed as the CM of Punjab. It is because he did not agree to provide free electricity to the poor people," Rahul Gandhi said. "He said I have a contract with the Power supplying companies," Rahul Gandhi told the vast gathering of Congress supporters.
