Captain Amarinder Singh joined the BJP as one of Punjab’s biggest political names but years later, his role in the party appears far quieter. As the BJP builds a new leadership team and prepares to fight Punjab largely on its own, Captain’s political space seems to be shrinking. His latest questioning of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Dimagi Naxals” remark has once again reminded everyone of his independent streak. Is he still a serious asset for the BJP or has the party simply moved on ? What should Captain Amarinder Singh do to remain politically relevant in the BJP ?

A) Demand a bigger role before the BJP completely moves on.
B) Use his stature to challenge the BJP’s new Punjab leadership.
C) Accept a senior advisory role and stay away from frontline politics.
