Preneet Kaur, Minister of State for External Affairs and wife of PCC chief Captain Amarinder Singh, on Friday, welcomed her estranged brother-in-law Malwinder Singh to contest the coming parliament elections against her from Patiala.
As Malwinder Singh has already announced to take on her by contesting the 2014 Lok Sabha elections on the Shiromani Akali Dal (B)’s ticket from Patiala, Preneet Kaur said, “If Malwinder has decided he is most welcome.”
It is pertinent to mention that after the Congress high-command rejected his claim over the ticket for Samana assembly segment in the recently held Punjab Assembly elections and allotted the same to Captain’s son Raninder Singh, the annoyed Malwinder had put the whole blame on Preneet Kaur, accusing that it was all her handiwork to promote her son Raninder Singh.
Irked over the affairs, Malwinder had not only switched to the SAD (B) fold but also launched campaign against Raninder Singh and announced to contest the parliament polls against Preneet Kaur too. Preneet Kaur was here at village Abulkhurana to express grief over the demise of Sukhpal Kaur, wife of former Congress Minister Gurnam Singh Abul Khurana.
Denying the impact of Malwinder’s anti-Raninder campaign, a confident mother Preneet Kaur said her son would definitely win the Vidhan Sabha polls and that too with substantial margin.
“I am confident in my words as we have analysed that nobody from the Congress left the party with Malwinder Singh,” she asserted. Replying to a query related to fact that the top state families of SAD and Congress were facing the same problem of family dispute, she said, “I don’t want to indulge in it but what I can say is that in our case Malwinder Singh himself deserted us, we had not asked him to go.”
She claimed the voters of Punjab polled in the favour of the Congress as they were all fed up with the SAD-BJP alliance. “The wave of Congress which was prevailing across the state suggests that the party would form the government with a minimum of 62 seats and the mark can touch 70,” she added.
