Singh had resigned in September as the chief minister and had announced that he will be quitting the Congress after months of in-party fights and rift with Congress state Chief Navjot Singh Sidhu. Last week, Singh had announced that he would launch his own political party as soon as the Election Commission clears the name and the symbol. He had also said that his party would contest all 117 seats in Punjab.
