Chandigarh: Charanjit Singh Channi has being elected as leader of Punjab congress legislative party(CLP). After a full day of hectic discussion the final name came out. Although before him Sukhjinder Randhawa was proposed but could not get Navjot Sidhu’s support.
Channi being a dalit face will be beneficial in upcoming elections as BSP has tied up with Akalis and BJP has already announced that they will make dalit as CM if they come to power. Dalits have 30%votes in Punjab.
