Commenting on media reports that state unit of Congress wanted former Chief Minister Amarinder Singh to contest from Bathinda against his daughter-in-law Harsimrat Kaur, Badal said Rahul Gandhi should contest from there.
"Instead of shifting responsibility on a local leader, Congress should ask its national Vice President Rahul Gandhi to test the waters from Bathinda Lok Sabha seat," a press statement quoting the Chief Minister said.
According to reports, Amarinder Singh's name for the Bathinda Lok Sabha seat has been suggested by state unit of Congress even though the former Chief Minister had announced recently that he will not contest from the seat.
