A Punjab Minister today claimed that Congress was facing "the end of its political future", with the outright rejection of public amidst increasing rebellion within the party.

Revenue Minister Bikram Singh Majithia was referring to the open rift in the party in the state and its rout in the recent Assembly elections in four states.

On the internal rift in Congress, he said the partymen were so stifled by state chief Partap Singh Bajwa's self-centred approach that they have rehashed Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) as "Partap Bajwa Congress Committee" and are distancing from it.

"People are sick and tired of Congress' anti-people policies, stifled by inflation and corruption, and are distancing from it. In Delhi, Congress was given a sound drubbing," he told reporters here.
 

Bereft of public support and with the falling of its own props, Congress is facing the end of its political future, he said, adding that any government, which ignores public interest, is bound to be routed out.
