Sukhbir Badal challenges Capt Amarinder to contest from Lambi seat only

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Sunday challenged Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh to contest from Lambi seat only against his father and Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and claimed he will meet his “nemesis” in the constituency.

“Why is he (Amarinder) keeping Patiala (urban) seat as a stopgap? This proves that he knows he can never win from Lambi and is only contesting the seat to project himself as the chief ministerial candidate of the party at a time when the Congress has not declared its CM candidate,” he said.

Sukhbir claimed Amarinder, along with AAP leader Bhagwant Mann would meet their “nemesis” in Lambi and Jalalabad seats respectively and that both he and Badal would never leave their constituencies to contest from any other seat.
