"I have complained to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and brought to her notice all the facts pertaining to Congress defeat in Punjab," said Brar once a close aide of Amarinder.

Brar alleged that Amarinder failed to mobilise people during rallies ahead of polls. "Amarinder used to stay only for 15 minutes at the rallies whereas I stayed for 15 hours on the same day," he claimed.

Overconfidence on the part of Amarinder was the prime reason for the Congress drubbing in the assembly polls, Brar asserted.

He further claimed that the Congress high command had taken a serious view of Amarinder's failure to visit the bereaved family of former party MLA Kanwarjit Singh Brar who had died on March four.
