Less than three years after he left the party to join the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), Navdeep Singh Goldy on Sunday rejoined the Punjab Congress, extending his full support to Captain Amarinder Singh in these assembly polls.Goldy, a former PPCC secretary who had contested the 2008 Amritsar (South) assembly bypoll on Congress ticket, said he was happy to be back `home’. Captain Amarinder welcomed his homecoming as another booth for the Congress, which he said was witnessing a massive wave in its favour ahead of the polling day.Goldy, who had joined the Akali Dal in 2014, said the dictatorial and anti-people functioning of the Badals and their party had made him rethink on his earlier decision and encouraged him to go back to his alma mater. The Congress was the only hope for Punjab’s future, he added, pledging his total allegiance to Captain Amarinder.
