And then he will know what I am talking about,” he said.Gen Singh, who is the SAD-BJP candidate for the Punjab Assembly polls, dubbed Capt Amarinder as a ‘gumshuda’ leader, saying his political career would end soon.

“A Captain is a Captain and a General a General, how can he compete and compare with me? I am using the strategy which he cannot match. If he can match, let him come on the ground. l challenge him to come and walk with me,” he added.He said the Congress leader would lose from both Patiala and Lambi assembly seats.“He will get tired. I am working 18 hours a day; he cannot work even six hours a day. He needs rest. My roots are here and he says I have nothing to do with Patiala. I think he knows nothing,” he said.The former army chief’s outburst against the Congress leader came after he described him as an average general.“He was a year junior to me and I know he was a lacklustre and an average general,” he said.The Assembly elections in the state will be held on February 4.
