‘Gumshuda’ Captain Amarinder has no right to judge me, says Gen JJ Singh

Patiala, January 17

Former army chief Gen JJ Singh (retd) on Tuesday hit back at Capt Amarinder Singh saying the Punjab Congress chief had no right to judge a person who had been decorated in every rank.

“He has no authority to judge me. I’ve been decorated in every rank. I think he has no idea, he should read my autobiography. And then he will know what I am talking about,” he said.

Gen Singh, who is the SAD-BJP candidate for the Punjab Assembly polls, dubbed Capt Amarinder as a ‘gumshuda’ leader, saying his political career would end soon.

“A Captain is a Captain and a General a General, how can he compete and compare with me? I am using the strategy which he cannot match. If he can match, let him come on the ground. l challenge him to come and walk with me,” he added.

He said the Congress leader would lose from both Patiala and Lambi assembly seats.

“He will get tired. I am working 18 hours a day; he cannot work even six hours a day. He needs rest. My roots are here and he says I have nothing to do with Patiala. I think he knows nothing,” he said.

The former army chief’s outburst against the Congress leader came after he described him as an average general.

“He was a year junior to me and I know he was a lacklustre and an average general,” he said.

The Assembly elections in the state will be held on February 4. ANI
