‘I am the Change’: Channi Makes ‘Aam Aadmi Ka CM’ Pitch from Booth to Booth on Polling Day in Punjab

News 18  

As Punjab voted today in all 117 assembly constituencies, News18 spoke with incumbent chief minister and Congress’ CM face Charanjit Singh Channi as he was going through a story in the newspaper that mentioned Dera Sacha Sauda’s support to the BJP and Akalis. He told News18, “I am used to everyone targeting me whether it’s the BJP or the Kejriwal.” Channi said there is no question that the Aam Aadmi Party would not win the elections when asked people were talking about winds of change in Punjab. When asked about his relation with state party chief Navjot Singh Sidhu, Channi said, “I firmly believe that all of us need to be together and we are together but perhaps more could have been done.” Channi was made the chief minister in the hope to capture Dalit and Schedule Castes and Scheduled Tribes’ vote bank but, it seems, that may not be enough for the Congress. As a chief minister, I have every right to be worried about the national security and a border state like Punjab cannot afford to have a party like AAP.” By raising the issue, the Congress hopes to bring about the fear factor specially among women who have gone through the dark days of the Khalistani movement in the rural and border areas of Punjab.
