Amarinder Singh: waiting for EC approval for party name, will give Congress a strong fight

Former Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh, who is set to launch his new political party, said on Wednesday that he has applied for a party name and a symbol, and an announcement will be made after the Election Commission's approval.

Singh had last week said that he was hopeful of a seat adjustment with the BJP provided the ongoing farmers' stir against farm laws was resolved in their interest.

Re-iterating his stand of alliances with like-minded parties, Singh on Wednesday said that he wants to be strong to fight Congress, Akali Dal and AAP.
