Channi, Siddhu assured me they will work together for party victory, he says
Congress leader and former president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said the party would be soon announcing its chief ministerial candidate for the upcoming Assembly election in Punjab.
“..I had a discussion withCharanjit Singh Channi [Punjab Chief Minister] and Navjot Singh Sidhu [State unit president]about who will lead — the media persons term it as CM candidate. Both Mr. Channi and Mr. Sidhu told me that the biggest question in Punjab is who will lead the Congress party. And both have assured me that no matter who is declared as party’s chief ministerial candidate, they will support each other and fight the polls with all their might to ensure the party’s victory.. we usually don’t do this [announcing the CM candidate] but if the party and its workers and Punjab want it then we will take a decision on CM candidate for you. How will we make this decision, it shall be by asking our workers. The person who is right will take Punjab forward and others will back him like a team..,” said Mr. Gandhi
