My supporters are getting threats: Capt.
Former Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh tweeted that now resorting to threatening and harassing my supporters in Patiala and other places. I want to tell my opponents that they cannot beat me with such a low level political game. Such steps will neither win votes nor hearts of the people. He has said that he is not afraid of such acts.
