Former Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh changed his Twitter bio today, hours after announcing his decision to leave the party. Capt Amarinder, according to his current Twitter bio, is an Army veteran and former Chief Minister of Punjab who is still serving the state.
Now, all eyes stay on his future course of action.
Capt’s meeting with the BJP leader and Union home minister Amit Shah had raised speculations of him joining the BJP. However, the veteran leader claimed that in the meeting he pleaded for the cause of Punjab farmers and discussed resolving the issues of protesting farmers.
Earlier, on Thursday, Capt had made it clear he is not joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) but had no intention of continuing in the Congress either. He claimed the party is going downhill with senior leaders completely ignored and not given a voice.
Adding that he had been utterly humiliated and was not trusted, Capt said "I will resign, will not stay in the party.” Amarinder is still thinking through ‘his options in the interest of Punjab, whose security was the predominant priority for him.’

"I will not be treated in this humiliating manner. I will not take such insults," he said, adding that his principles and beliefs do not allow him to stay in the Congress.
Terming the senior Congressmen as the thinkers, who were critical to the future of the party, the former Chief Minister said the younger leadership should be promoted to implement the plans, which the senior leaders are best equipped to formulate.
Unfortunately, the seniors were being completely sidelined, he said, adding this was not good for the party. He also condemned the attack on Kapil Sibal's house by Congress workers only because he had chosen to express views that were not palatable to the party leadership.
