The reason for his sudden resignation is unknown. Some consider the move by the party to not appoint him as the Chief Minister could be a key factor.

• This development comes merely a week after Captain Amrinder Singh tendered his resignation from the post of Chief Minister as he claimed that he was "humiliated" by the party. Singh and Sidhu had been on the verge of war and regular exchanged shots at each other.

Reacting to this development, Captain Amrinder Singh tweeted "I told you so... he is not a stable man and not fit for the border state of punjab."

I told you so…he is not a stable man and not fit for the border state of punjab.
