Former Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh to launch new political party

NEW DELHI: Former Chief Minister of Punjab Captain Amarinder Singh today announced to launch his new political party.

Captain Singh's media adviser Raveen Thukral has tweeted about a press conference that will be held at 11 am on Wednesday.

"Former Punjab CM @capt_amarinder will address a Press Conference in Chandigarh tomorrow (Wednesday, Oct 27) at 11 am. The event will be telecast live on his Facebook Page. Do tune in," Thukral wrote on Twitter.

Last week Singh said that he would launch his own party and that he was hopeful of a seat arrangement with the BJP provided the ongoing farmers' stir against farm laws was resolved in their interest.

Singh's statement came just months ahead of the Punjab assembly elections.

Recently, the two-time former chief minister faced an unceremonious exit from the Punjab government.

Congress replaced Singh with Charanjit Singh Channi.
