CHANDIGARH: Controversy continues in the Congress party over the chief ministerial candidate for Punjab. Party sources say that CM Charanjit Singh Channi and state president Navjot Singh Sidhu are face to face in this fight. Meanwhile, Sidhu is seen in a mood of open rebellion against the Gandhi family.
Want a weak CM who can dance to his tune
Targeting the top leadership, he said that the people sitting at the top of the party want a puppet CM. Amidst sloganeering by his supporters in Punjab, Sidhu said if a new Punjab is to be created, it is in the hands of the Chief Minister. This time you have to choose the chief minister.
The people at the top want a weak chief minister who can dance to his tune. Do you want such CM? Let us tell you that after Channi was made the CM, Sidhu is constantly angry. He has shown his rebellious attitude on many occasions. He even offered to resign from the post of Punjab Congress Committee President. However, the party later convinced him.
In front of Channi in the race for CM candidate
Congress will declare its face for the assembly elections in Punjab. Rahul Gandhi had said this during his Punjab tour. According to the information received from the sources, the current Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi can be declared as the face of the Congress Chief Minister. Sources say that Channi is leading in the party's survey.
Congress is conducting survey for CM candidate
After the announcement of Rahul Gandhi, the Congress party is conducting a survey for the CM candidate in Punjab. In this survey, Congress has tried to know the opinion of candidates, workers, MPs and MLAs. There was a rapid discussion on only two names regarding the face of the chief minister's post. Sources say that Navjot Singh Sidhu will not be given preference in this matter.
Channi-Sidhu both had demanded
Let us tell you that both Charanjit Singh Channi and Navjot Singh Sidhu had demanded the announcement of CM candidate in Punjab. A senior Congress member said, the party is making so many efforts so that whatever decision is taken is transparent.
Whoever lags behind in this survey cannot throw mud on others. In front of Rahul Gandhi, both Channi and Sidhu had accepted that they would accept the results of the survey. Let us tell you that the Aam Aadmi Party had also resorted to survey to declare the chief ministerial candidate. However, at that time the Congress criticized the move.
