Congress can't coordinate their lies properly, Captain Singh

In Punjab,accustaion has started openly in Congress party. Former Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Saturday criticised the Congress over what he called "preposterous lies being floated by party leaders in a clear bid to cover up their mishandling" of the crisis in the party. Pointing to "conflicting numbers" shared by the party's Punjab in-charge Harish Rawat and senior leader Randeep Surjewala on a purported letter received by the Congress's central leadership expressing lack of confidence against him, Amarinder Singh termed it "a comedy of errors."

The former Chief Minister's remarks came after Surjewala claimed that 78 of the 79 Punjab Congress MLAs had written to the party leadership seeking Amarinder Singh's ouster. "Interestingly, just a day earlier, Harish Rawat had, in a press statement, said that 43 MLAs had written to the high command on the issue," Amarinder Singh said in a statement. "It seems the entire party has become imbued with Navjot Singh Sidhu's sense of comic theatrics," he said. "Next, they will claim that 117 MLAs wrote to them against me." "This is the state of affairs in the party. They cannot even coordinate their lies properly," Captain Amarinder said, adding the Congress was in a total state of disarray, and the crisis seemed to be escalating by the day, with a large majority of its senior leaders completely disenchanted with the party's functioning.
