This denial from the former Congress leader comes amid reports that the Punjab Congress leadership is in talks with some of its former leaders for their homecoming ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
Captain Amarinder Singh
Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and two-time former Punjab Chief Minister, Captain Amarinder Singh, on Saturday, dismissed the rumours on some social media news platforms that he had met Congress leader Sonia Gandhi.
Amarinder, who had quit the Congress to float his own party which was later merged with the BJP, said these were baseless rumours without any iota of truth. The former CM said he was committed to the BJP, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and party president JP Nadda.
The veteran leader said he had made up his mind once for all and he will always remain committed to the BJP. “At such a level you don’t look back,” he remarked while adding that it is his principle in life that a decision once taken is never taken back.
