AMRITSAR: The hot seat of Lambi in Muktsar district, the constituency of five-time chief minister Parkash Singh Badal and a traditional Akali stronghold could witness the mother of all battles in the Punjab assembly elections with state Congress chief Captain Amarinder Singh on Saturday announcing his intention of taking on senior Badal in his territory.
Addressing the media in Amritsar on Saturday, Amarinder said he would seek the nod from the party high command to contest against the SAD patron. The former CM had earlier contested and won from Amritsar Lok Sabha seat against Union finance minister Arun Jaitley in 2014. Amarinder told newspersons said he was prepared to challenge Badal senior from the Lambi seat with the aim of decimating the top Akali leadership. "To defeat Badals, I am ready to take on Parkash Singh Badal on his turf," he said, while alleging that the top Akali leadership was responsible for destroying the youth of Punjab and turning them into drug addicts.
