Ahead of the next month’s assembly elections, Congress state president Navjot Singh Sidhu has become the center of a new controversy.
The most crucial issue in Punjab right now – whether the Congress will choose Sidhu for CM or will go with Channi if the party retains Punjab.
Punjab was slated to go into single phase elections on February 14 according to the Election Commission of India (ECI). However, keeping in mind the Covid situation and Ravidas Jayanti in the state, the polls have been postponed to February 20.
During a news conference, BJP national president JP Nadda said that the BJP will run for 65 seats, the PLC for 37, and the SAD (S) for 15.
Mann, who is a Member of Parliament from Sangrur, launched his campaign to contest the upcoming elections from the Dhuri Assembly seat.
The PLC leader Amarinder Singh stated that all of these candidates have excellent political credentials and are well-known faces in their respective areas.
While the Congress-led administration of Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi now governs the state, the BJP and Aam Aadmi Party will be surprise candidates in this election, even though the Congress looks to retain power.
