Punjab Polls: Channi Is Like A Commander Without An Army, Says Rajnath Singh

Mumbai: Referring to the “discord within the Congress party” in Punjab, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday took a dig at Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi and said he was like a commander without an army.

Addressing a rally in Amritsar, Singh said, “I see the Chief Minister of Punjab. Ye Sainik Wale Senapati Hai (He is like a commander without an army. He has become the Senapati (Chief Minister), but he does not have any army. But Congress is fighting within itself.”

The Defense Minister further said that in Congress, two batsmen are fighting for the same crease and both are bound to get out (in the language of cricket).

“You know there are two batsmen in the Congress party at the moment. Both want to bat together. Neither of them wants to be a non-striker. Both the batsmen are fighting on one crease. So, it is certain that they will get out. Nobody can prevent it,” he said.
