Many in Punjab Congress want Charanjit Channi to be CM face for upcoming Assembly polls

Firstpost  

The Congress high command has so far maintained that the party will fight the February 20 elections to the 117-member assembly under a “collective leadership” Chandigarh: There is a growing clamour within the Punjab Congress over the need to declare a chief ministerial candidate for next month’s assembly polls, with many senior leaders throwing their weight behind Charanjit Singh Channi, the state’s first chief minister from the scheduled caste community. Mohindra’s cabinet colleague Rana Gurjeet Singh has too thrown his weight behind Channi, saying raising a question mark about his continuation as chief minister, after the party comes back to power, can prove to suicidal. Even Channi, who is from the scheduled caste community, which enjoys a sizeable presence in the state, had recently said that the Congress should declare its chief ministerial candidate and pointed out that it has been seen in the past that doing so has favoured the party reap electoral gains. The party’s state unit has launched a campaign on social media stating that the entire state is with Charanjit Singh Channi and blaming the BJP-led Centre for trying to defame Punjab’s first chief minister from the scheduled caste community.
