Never worked for Punjab's interests: AAP as Captain Amarinder Singh joins BJP
India Today
Captain Amarinder has never worked for the welfare of Punjab but only pleased his political boss - PM Narendra Modi - even as a Congress chief minister for his vested political interests, and now he and his gang of thugs have joined the BJP, AAP said.
The Aam Aadmi Party today slammed former Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh for officially joining the BJP, accusing him of sabotaging the interests of the state for his political career for decades.
Addressing a press conference, party spokesperson Malvinder Singh Kang said that it is an embarrassing state of affairs for Captain as senior BJP leaders, including the national president and union minister Amit Shah, have not even preferred to have him join formally. However, such events are held when small leaders join the party.
“The BJP has shown the real place to Captain today again. BJP's Narendra Tomar joined Captain, who advocated the three black farming bills and called Punjabis anti-nationals. It has exposed the real face of Captain that he has always been working against the interests of Punjab just for the sake of power politics," Kang said.
Attacking the BJP, Kang said that the party is collecting “rubbish” from the Congress but that won't help them or lead them anywhere in Punjab.

Captain Amarinder Singh joined the BJP along with other leaders after merging his party - the Punjab Lok Congress (PLC) - with the saffron camp.
The veteran Congress leader, who quit the grand old party after his unceremonious exit as Punjab chief minister over differences with the top party leadership ahead of the state elections earlier this year, was inducted into the BJP by law minister Kiren Rijiju in the presence of agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar.
