Congress Punjab unit chief Amarinder Singh demanded imposition of President’s Rule in the state on 10 November, following the SYL verdict. He also sought early elections, claiming Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal may try to create trouble to further his vested political interests.
“Let there be elections in December,” Singh said after sending his resignation from the Amritsar Lok Sabha seat to the Speaker in the wake of the Supreme Court judgement, favouring Haryana in the Sutlej-Yamuna Canal link case.

Other Congress leader Ravneet Singh Bittu told ANI, “Punjab can’t afford to give even a drop of water. The decision taken is against Punjab and in favour of Haryana.”
