Former CM Captain Amarinder Singh has expressed happiness over PM Narendra Modi's announcement to abolish all three new agriculture laws. He said that he will contest the assembly elections by sharing seats with the BJP. The Captain said that as soon as the agricultural laws are cancelled and the farmers' movement ends, he will strike an election chord with the BJP. Now Captain will fight the elections in the state after three and a half months with the BJP.
Amarinder Singh showed peace that Narendra Modi understood the concerns of the farmers after listening to them. However, announced the repeal of the Agriculture Act. He said, 'I kept raising this issue continuously and kept meeting the central government.'
After PM Modi's announcement, Captain Amarinder Singh said, Today is a big day for us in Punjab. I was raising this issue for more than a year in front of PM Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. At the same time, I requested them to listen to the voice of the Annadata. However, I am glad that they listened to the farmers and understood our concerns.
The Captain said that this is not only a big relief for the farmers, but it has also opened doors for the growth of Punjab. Now he will work for the development of farmers with the BJP-led central government. He promised the farmers of Punjab that they would not rest until they wipe-out tears from the eyes of every man in Punjab.
Captain Amarinder Singh was removed from the CM's chair by Congress 6 months before the Punjab elections. After that, he left Congress. Now Amarinder has formed a party in Punjab in the name of Punjab Lok Congress. Amarinder has been saying in the past that he will contest the elections with the BJP once the farmers' agitation is resolved.
