Reacting to reports that his opponent from the Patiala Urban constituency, Gen JJ Singh (retd), allegedly pulled up voters for not supporting him in the polls, state Congress chief Capt Amarinder Singh today called for a review of the process to select the Army chief.According to reports, the former Army chief and SAD candidate, during a visit to localities in Patiala yesterday, asserted that if elected MLA, he would not help those who didn’t vote for him.Terming Gen Singh’s angst against voters as disregard of the democratic institution of elections, Amarinder said the former had forgotten all that he had learnt in his Army career. “One must be humble and inspire the people with one’s leadership. He failed on all accounts,” he added.“From Field Marshal KM Cariappa and Gen KS Thimayya to Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, we now come to Gen JJ Singh! Frankly, I thank the almighty that there was no war in his period of heading the Army,” Amarinder added.
