Captain Amarinder Singh, former Chief Minister of Punjab who quit Congress last year, is likely to join the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), sources told The Quint.

Singh, who is in London for spinal surgery, will most likely merge his Punjab Lok Congress party with the BJP after his return next week.

The leader had floated his own party, Punjab Lok Congress, after quitting the Congress amidst a power tussle with Navjot Singh Sidhu in September 2021.

In his resignation letter to Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, Singh had said that he had been humiliated by the party leadership and was "deeply hurt" by the conduct of the Gandhis.
