After a comment by AICC common secretary in-charge of Punjab Harish Rawat that the upcoming meeting elections could be fought below Navjot Singh Sidhu’s management triggered a political storm, the Congress excessive command on Monday stepped in to clear the air, saying Sidhu and the newly appointed Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi will contest the elections collectively.

AICC communications division head Randeep Surjewala, in an effort to manage the harm, mentioned, “I simply spoke to Harish Rawat a couple of minutes in the past. He instructed me that some mates couldn’t see his assertion from the suitable angle.

“He had mentioned that our Chief Minister is Charanjit Singh Channi. Our state Congress President is Navjot Singh Sidhu… That’s why Sidhu is main the group and Channi is main and is the face of Congress authorities. They will struggle Punjab elections together with different leaders and our employees. “This is the reality and the truth,” he mentioned.

“Our face can be Sardar Charanjit Singh Channi and Sardar Navjot Singh Sidhu in addition to frequent Congress employees and essential leaders who will help them. If somebody says that there can be some face and, deliberately or in any other case, being misinterpreted by a bit of the media, then I need to inform all my mates within the media, please like Modi ji, like Kejriwalji has no objection to the management position assigned to a younger Dalit chief like Badalji, because the Chief Minister of Punjab. He can be our face together with the PCC president, which is pure.

Earlier within the day, former Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) chief Sunil Jakhar hit out at Rawat, saying the upcoming elections could be fought below Sidhu’s management. “On the day of @Charnjit_channi’s swearing-in as Chief Minister, Mr. Rawat’s statement that “the elections can be fought below Sidhu’s management”, is shocking. This is likely to undermine the authority of the CM, but also negates the ‘raj d’etre’ of his selection for the post,” Jakhar had tweeted.
