He stated that they would provide one lakh government employment to the state's youngsters if they were elected. Earlier on Sunday, Channi stated that if the Congress administration is established, eight gas cylinders will be provided free of charge each year, whereas we would endeavour to provide 1100 rupees to poor women every month.

The Congress has a major task in returning to power in Punjab in a single phase on February 20. Only Punjab has a Congress administration in the states where elections will be held in 2022. The Punjab Legislative Assembly's tenure ends on March 27, 2022. The party is fighting hard to keep its government in place in the state. According to reports, state president Navjot Singh Sidhu's activism has decreased after Channi was appointed CM face. He is solely focused on his seat, Amritsar East, where he will face Akali Dal stalwart Bikram Singh Majithia.

This time around, the Aam Aadmi Party is attempting to rise from second to first place in the Punjab elections. In contrast, the Akali Dal has joined forces with the BSP. At the same time, the BJP has formed an alliance with Captain Amarinder Singh's and Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa's parties. The state legislature has 117 seats. After ten years, Congress formed the government in 2017 after capturing 77 seats. The Shiromani Akali Dal-BJP, on the other hand, was reduced to only 18 seats. By capturing 20 seats, the Aam Aadmi Party established itself as the largest opposition party.
