While the Congress slammed Sunil Jakhar, former chief minister Amarinder Singh, whose Punjab Lok Congress is an ally of the BJP, congratulated him for joining the BJP.
Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring hit out at Sunil Jakhar who joined the BJP on Thursday, saying he might have formally joined the saffron outfit now but he had started working for it long before and was playing blatant Hindutva politics.
While the Congress slammed Sunil Jakhar, former chief minister Amarinder Singh, whose Punjab Lok Congress is an ally of the BJP, congratulated him for joining the saffron outfit and said honest and upright leaders like him cannot breathe in the grand old party.
Referring to his unceremonious exit as chief minister last year after which he quit the Congress, Amarinder Singh recalled how within the span of less than a year, the Congress party has "completely collapsed in Punjab due to one wrong decision".
He said the Congress was headed for an "imminent doom" and claimed more leaders were likely to desert the "sinking ship" in the coming days.
