CHANDIGARH, JAN 13

The Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee chief, Capt Amarinder Singh, has every reason to be in a jubilant mood as his party launches its election campaign from the historic Maghi Mela at Muktsar tomorrow.

The Jubilations and celebrations in his camp are understandable as the "Maharaj" has been able to marshal his men well, getting them the nod of the party high command in the allotment of tickets for the February 13 poll.

The list, though with certain surprises, not only proves the supremacy the Captain enjoys in the PPCC but also entrusts him a greater responsibility of seeing the party through in the next month's elections.

Though the detractors of the PPCC chief have been strategically marginalised, the party high command appears to have been successful in containing the "anger as well as resentment" of those who could not be accommodated.
