A day after the expulsion of former MP Jagmeet Singh Brar from the Congress, his younger brother and former Kotkapura MLA Ripjit Singh Brar today fired a salvo at PPCC chief Capt Amarinder Singh, accusing him of betraying and humiliating senior leaders.

Ripjit tweeted: “Amarinder first arm-twisted Rahul, betrayed Sunil Jakhar, humiliated CLP leader Channi and suspended Bir Devinder. He hates Bhattal, Bajwa and Jagmeet.”

Further, in one of his earlier tweets in the day, he wrote: “Eight important leaders of Punjab gained everything from the Congress by just speaking against Jagmeet. Felt bad at his ouster.”

When asked whether he was planning to quit the party, Ripjit said: “Presently, I am in the Congress. The party has not served me any notice nor have I written anything to the high command regarding my brother’s ouster. But I stand with my brother and will follow his future course of action.”

Meanwhile, he preferred not to reveal the names of eight leaders who, according to him, had “gained” by speaking against Jagmeet.

Ripjit said they had started preparations for their May 21 rally at Chappar Chiri in Mohali. “A meeting of private transporters was held today in Bathinda. We are trying to arrange at least 500 buses. It will be our biggest programme and we will leave no stone unturned to make the rally a success,” he said.
