Several social media users have been sharing a picture and video of Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh meeting Mukesh Ambani. They are being circulated with different captions. Many users are accusing Singh of indulging in politics instead of supporting the protesting farmers.<\/p>\n
On December 7, Facebook page ‘Bhindi Bazaar’ shared this image and wrote, “A day before the Bharat Bandh, Mukesh Ambani met Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh in Mumbai. Mr. Singh has already supported Home Minister Amit Shah’s proposals regarding the farmers’ protests. The Punjab CM said that he had a conversation with Mr. Ambani about industrial and investment projects in Punjab. On the one hand, Congress is supporting the farmers’ protests and the Bharat Bandh and on the other, the CM of Punjab is meeting Ambani. What kind of politics is this?” (Archive link<\/a>)<\/p>\n Bharat Bandh se ek din pehle , aaj MUMBAI main Mukesh Ambani ki Punjab ke CM Capt.
