Last week, former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh raised many eyebrows and curiosity in political circles with his disclosure about his exchange of messages with Rahul Gandhi.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader sounded almost nostalgic as he revealed that Rahul wished him on his birthday and also sent a message to condole his brother’s death—something no BJP leader did.
That appreciation came as a surprise, as Rahul was instrumental in Amarinder’s resignation as the CM in September 2021 and his exit from the Congress a few weeks later.
A couple of days before this disclosure, Amarinder had publicly disapproved the BJP’s choice of ex-Congressman and another Jat Sikh leader Kewal Singh Dhillon as its Punjab unit chief.
