Amarinder to lead Congress in 2022 Punjab Assembly polls

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh shall be leading the party in the next assembly elections, announced Punjab Congress president Sunil Jakhar. This move comes in the wake of people reposing their faith in his leadership with their verdict in the party's favour during the recently held civic body polls, he added.

Having won 7 seats out of 8, Congress swept off the recent civic body polls. It also emerged as the largest party in the Moga MC and won most of the 109 municipal councils and nagar panchayats.

In a statement here, Jakhar said, "The Congress Party's sweeping victory in the civic body polls has not only revalidated Amarinder' Singh’s leadership in the state but was an endorsement of the faith of Punjabis in his future leadership also.”
