New Delhi: Congress veteran Amarinder Singh on Saturday resigned as chief minister of Punjab, capping months of a power tussle that had polarised the ruling party in the state headed for elections in just about four months.

He submitted his resignation along with that of his council of ministers, his media advisor said. “..@capt_amarinder has met Punjab Governor and submitted his and his council of ministers’ resignation.

”I feel humiliated…,” Amarinder Singh told reporters.

“I am in Congress party, will talk to my supporters and decide future course of politics,” the veteran Congress leader added.

Earlier in the day, Amarinder Singh spoke to Congress president Sonia Gandhi and expressed his anguish and displeasure over his repeated “humiliation”, the sources said.

Elections in the state are due in about four months.
