Captain Singh reportedly held this meeting to merge the Punjab Lok Congress with the BJP. If media reports are to be believed, in the next Lok Sabha elections, the BJP is planning to go it alone in Punjab. After severing ties with Congress, Captain Singh contested the 2022 Assembly elections with the BJP. However, they did not succeed and Captain Singh was defeated.
