Channi says Cong should declare Punjab CM face as such moves in past helped it reap poll gains

India Today  

With polls in Punjab a month away, Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi feels that the Congress should declare its chief ministerial candidate, pointing out that doing so in the past has favoured the party reap electoral gains. Channi's statement comes at a time when opposition parties have targeted the Congress, saying it has many chief ministerial aspirants including its state unit president Navjot Singh Sidhu and party leader Sunil Jakhar. Asked should the Congress declare its candidate for 2022 Punjab assembly election because going by the past trend sometimes the party makes such announcement and sometimes not and last time they had declared Amarinder Singh as CM candidate, Channi replied, "Last time when they had declared Capt we won and previous time the candidate was not declared we lost and before that when they gave we won and when they did not declare candidate we lost" "This time they should give. People elect MLAs and in Punjab, they will choose their chief minister as well, not the Congress "high command", the party's state unit chief Navjot Singh Sidhu had asserted on Tuesday.
