Less than a fortnight after resigning as Punjab's Chief Minister (CM), Captain Amarinder Singh reached Delhi on Tuesday, 28 September. He is on a two-day visit to the Capital.
Earlier, reports suggested that the veteran Congress leader was likely to meet Union Home Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Amit Shah as well as BJP President JP Nadda during his trip.
However, the former CM of Punjab denied the reports and said, "I am here to vacate Kapurthala House, the residence of Punjab CM in New Delhi. I am not going to meet any politician here," Singh said. Kapurthala House is a government house allotted to the Punjab CM in Delhi.
Earlier, Raveen Thukral, Media Advisor to Singh, had also denied the reports, saying too much was being read into the former Punjab CM's visit to Delhi.
"He's on a personal visit, during which he'll meet some friends and also vacate Kapurthala House for the new CM. No need for any unnecessary speculation," Thukral wrote on Twitter.
