34 Congress Legislators Demand Removal of Captain Amarinder Singh as Punjab CM

Meanwhile, Amarinder Singh's loyalists have demanded action against Navjot Sidhu's aides for their recent remarks.

The demand to 'replace' Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh once again gained momentum on Tuesday, 24 August, as 34 legislators of the Congress, including four Cabinet ministers, decided to inform the party's high command about the widespread dissidence within the Congress.

According to IANS, they stated clearly that it was time for the party to opt for a change of the guard ahead of the upcoming Punjab Assembly polls.

"Changing the CM is the prerogative of the party high command. But we have lost faith in him," Technical Education Minister Charanjit Singh Channi told the media in Chandigarh, reported IANS.
