Patiala : A day after his wife Preneet Kaur wrote to the Election Commission alleging misuse of the state machinery by the state government, her husband Capt Amarinder Singh expressed confidence in the officials. He, however, warned officials who were "misusing their position to favour the Akalis." He said the Congress was certain to form the next government in the state.
Attending a meeting of the District Congress Committee, Amarinder Singh asked the Congress workers to pull up their socks and ensure that Preneet was elected MLA with a “record margin”.
Warning the SAD-BJP government against misusing official machinery during the byelection, he said he was confident that the officials would not succumb to pressure and would perform their duty in an impartial manner.
Amarinder Singh arrived here from Delhi today. His wife will be filing her nomination papers tomorrow. “I will personally ensure that nobody intimidates Congress workers and supporters. The Election Commission is closely monitoring these byelections,” he said.
