Patiala, February 20
Former chief minister Amarinder Singh said he was confident of securing a win from Patiala Urban.
“Our booths are full. This shows we’re doing exceedingly well,” Capt Amarinder Singh said after he cast his vote with his wife Preneet Kaur, a Congress Member of Parliament.
Capt Amarinder Singh said he had only two months to announce their new party and fight the elections.
“Still, the party is doing very well. We’re positive that our combination (with the BJP) will perform very well. We have good reports coming in from all our booths.”
His former party, he said, was living in a “different world”.
“I think they will be wiped out from Punjab,” he said.
He accused rivals Aam Aadmi Party and its chief convener, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of having “Khalistani links”.
“Gurpatwant Singh Pannu is a Khalistani and he is supporting Arvind Kejriwal. We don’t know how much effect he will have.”
