News 18  

Punjab chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi is the biggest sand mafia in the region and would be the next after his nephew to face action by the Enforcement Directorate, Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal told CNN-News18 in an exclusive interview in Badal village in Lambi. The former deputy CM said: “Channi is the biggest sand mafia of the region, I have been saying this for long. The arrest of Channi’s nephew Bhupendra Singh Honey in an illegal sand mining case comes two days before the Congress is to announce its chief ministerial face for the elections. When asked who he thinks the Congress will pick as its CM face between Charanjit Singh Channi and Navjot Singh Sidhu, he said: “It does not matter, does not make any difference, the Congress is gone, they have completely ruined the state and nobody wants them…Sidhu is anyway losing the election, I have fielded our big leader Bikram Majithia against him in Amritsar …so there is no question of him becoming the face."
