Amritsar, Mar 11 (IBNS): Leading his party to victory in Punjab, Congress state chief Captain Amarinder Singh on Saturday said that the party high command and Vice President Rahul Gandhi will decide on Chief Ministership in the state.

Addressing a press conference, Capt. Singh gave full credit to the party workers for the win.

While speaking on the reasons for the party's comprehensive victory, he said, "I think people of Punjab want development, industries, education and heath care so they voted for us."

He even  urged the Centre to cooperate for  widespread development in the state.

"I hope the Union government will help people of Punjab towards development and good governance," Singh said.

Poll strategist Prashant Kishore, who had helped  Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the 2014 general election, assisted Congress in Punjab.
