Chandigarh:
The Congress may have kept any decision on a Chief Minister candidate in Punjab at bay ahead of elections but its two top faces, Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi and state Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu are not having it.
As Navjot Sidhu said yesterday that “the people of Punjab” will pick the new Chief Minister, as opposed to the party high command, Mr Channi dropped a big hint of his own.
The Congress should announce a chief minister candidate before the election, Mr Channi told a local channel, Pro Punjab TV. “Whenever the party has not announced a Chief Minister candidate, it has lost,” he said when asked whether his party should name a candidate before the February 14 election
