Amarinder Singh resigned on Saturday after telling Congress president Sonia Gandhi he felt humiliated, following the party's move to call an emergency meeting of Punjab MLAs without informing him.
Amarinder Singh, who was replaced as the Punjab Chief Minister last weekend, dropped ominous hints today for the Congress as he threatened to put up a candidate against Navjot Sidhu and "make any sacrifice" to stop him from becoming Chief Minister.
In a series of interviews, the "Captain" also said he had been asked to continue by Sonia Gandhi when he offered to quit three weeks ago and said Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were "inexperienced and misguided".
Mr Singh resigned on Saturday after telling Congress president Sonia Gandhi he felt humiliated, following the party's move to call an emergency meeting of Punjab MLAs without informing him.
Two days later, Charanjit Singh Channi, who is close to Mr Singh's bitter rival Navjot Sidhu, took over.
