‘Personal ties will remain, but I am politically with BJP’, Amarinder Singh on Rahul Gandhi’s remark
Capt. Amarinder left the Indian National Congress in 2021 on the pretext that he was hurt by the conduct of the party leader Sonia Gandhi and her children, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Vadra Gandhi.
Former Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh has stated that despite his personal and family ties to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, he remains politically committed to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). In a recent Instagram 'Ask Me Anything' session, Rahul Gandhi named Amarinder Singh as his favourite BJP leader, praising his expertise in military history.
Amarinder Singh, who has known Rahul Gandhi and his family since childhood, clarified that these personal connections will always remain, but his political allegiance stays with the BJP. He joined the BJP in 2022 after leaving the Indian National Congress, citing hurt over the conduct of party leaders Sonia Gandhi and her children.
