“It is time you (Captain) hung up your boots,” said Cheema, pointing to Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi’s refusal to name him the party’s chief ministerial candidate on Saturday.

Captain had said that several senior leaders and prominent workers of the SAD were waiting for the code of conduct to come into force before they could resign from the party to join the Congress.
