Chandigarh April 7 – The Shiromani Akali Dal today described Captain
Amarinder Singh’s admission that AAP was directly hurting only the
Congress as the first unintended acceptance of an imminent defeat.This
also confirmed the SAD view that the Congress was heading for a the
number three slot in the state, way behind SAD-BJP and even AAP, said
the party’s general Secretary and Principal Spokesperson, Mr Harcharan
Bains, claiming that the admission by Captain Singh had vindicated
the SAD-BJP stand that the Congress was likely finish only among also
rans.
The SAD General Secretary said that it was significant that the
Congress appeared to be scared of a party with which it had formed a
government in Delhi
“Such an important admission in the thick of the election campaign by
a responsible and senior leader like Captain Amaridner SIngh showed
that the reality was begininng to sink in into the Congress minds.
Captain Singh is usually the last person to concede superiroity to any
opponent, said Mr. Bains
Mr. Bains said that the the admission by the Congress must come as a
shocker to those who might still had hoped for the party to put up
some kind of a fight in these elections after fielding their main
leaders.
“Up to now, the Congress leaders had either been writing off AAP
as a non-entity or claiming that it would adversely affect the
SAD-BJP candidates more than the Congress. With today’s admission by
Captain Amarinder Singh, the Congress has has acknowledged the
ground reality that the Congress was slipping even behind AAP in
Punjab,” said the SAD General Secretary.
