Patiala, July 18 (UNI) Former chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh today said Congress president Sonia Gandhi would '' decide his next role in the party''.

Interacting with mediapersons here, he said that he had remained Punjab Congress chief for four years and then had remained Chief Minster for a full five year term. '' Now the Congress party chief will decide how to use my services and experience and at what level,'' he said in reply to a querry.

He appreciated the working of both state Congress chief S S Dullo and Congress Legislature Party Leader (CLP) Rajinder Kaur Bhattal.

Pointing out that Parliamentary polls were due after two years, he reminded reporters that in 1999 when he became state Congress chief, the party won 11 of the 13 Lok Sabha seats.

Regarding the forthcoming Municipal Corporation elections in the state he said the Congress party would win all these polls. He said he would campaign for the party in these elections.

When asked about his return from London, he maintained that he had come back to cast his vote for the Presidential poll tomorrow.

Capt Singh had returned on Sunday evening after undergoing medical treatment in England.

Asked when he would return to England, Capt Singh shot back, ''Why should I?'' He pointed out that the Punjab and Haryana High Court had allowed him to go abroad for medical treatment and had given him time till July 15.

''There is no question of going back to England'', he added while indicating that he would continue with his medical treatement at the PGI, Chandigarh.

Regarding his health, he said he was fit now and feeling better and strictly following the advise of the doctors. Capt Singh who had sought anticaptory bail had obtained the permission of the High Court after his name figured in the multi crore Ludhiana City Centre scam registered by the state Vigilance Bureau in March this year.
