Bhaskar Inside Story – How to Mane Sidhu: If the Congress government is formed, the responsibility of ending the liquor-sand mafia will be given; If you lose then the head will explode.

Congress’s firebrand leader Navjot Sidhu, who has been claiming the CM face for several months, suddenly fell silent. It was agreed to make Charanjit Channi the CM face of Congress in Punjab. Sidhu’s consent was not just received, but after the formation of the government, he would get the responsibility of eliminating the same liquor and sand mafia, which he has been raising. On the other hand, if the Congress loses the election, then the blame will go on the head of CM Charanjit Channi. However, this formula has been asked to be kept top secret for the time being so that there is no loss in the election.

Read… what happened in Rahul-Sidhu’s closed room meeting

According to sources, Rahul Gandhi held a closed-door meeting with Navjot Sidhu alone. Sidhu explained the situation in Punjab to Rahul. He also claimed to get a majority in the election. However, Rahul told Sidhu about SC politics and compensation for the loss while Amarinder Singh was there. In which it was finally decided that only Sidhu would end the mafia in Punjab. It is clear from this that in the new government, he will get the ministry of excise and mining. In which there will be no interference of the Chief Minister to an extent. Sidhu’s role can be that of a minister or even a deputy CM. After this, Sidhu also made it clear to the leaders who came from Delhi that he would not be responsible for the defeat in the elections.

Sidhu welcomed Channi as his face

This is because.. because eliminating the mafia is a big part of Sidhu’s Punjab model.

Navjot Sidhu has been continuously presenting the Punjab model. Sidhu’s big agenda is to end the mafia raj. The most important in this is mining ie sand mafia and liquor mafia. In an exclusive interview with Dainik Bhaskar, Sidhu had revealed his plan that if the mafia ends, Punjab can earn 50 thousand crores.

Liquor : Giving details of this, Sidhu also says that VAT will be imposed on liquor by forming Liquor Corporation. With this we can earn 25 thousand crores. Tamil Nadu earns 37 thousand crores from this. Right now we earn only 4 crores by giving private license.

Sand: There are 102 mining sites in Punjab. You can earn 3 thousand crores from here. For this, Punjab State Sand Mining Corporation will be formed. The government itself will sell the sand. Contracting system will not work.

(Apart from these, Sidhu also gave details of earning Rs 3 thousand crore from cable, 1.5 thousand crore from transport and outdoor advertisement regulation.)

CM Channi, who suddenly dominated by becoming CM, looked happy in this style

Congress loses or wins, Sidhu will be in profit.
Channi becoming the CM face and Sidhu being sidelined, it also has a lot of political meaning. In Punjab, Congress is contesting elections on just 111 days of work. However, he cannot escape the accountability of four and a half years by removing Captain Amarinder Singh. In such a situation, if the Congress does not come to power, then the whole blame will go on Charanjit Channi’s head. In such a situation, the Congress has played the entire election bet around Channi.

It is clear that victory and defeat in the election is now the responsibility of Channi, not Sidhu. Sidhu is still behind, but if Congress does not come to power, then due to this ‘sacrifice’, Sidhu is sure to emerge as a big political stalwart in the Congress itself in the next 5 years. Then there will be no one compared to Sidhu. If Congress loses, Charanjit Channi will be marginalized politically because the Congress high command has put its reputation at stake by playing bets on Channi.

Sidhu lags behind in CM race ahead of Congress high command’s decision

So scared of Sidhu’s attitude, Congress chose 6th February.

Now the important thing is also discussed in this that Congress knew the attitude of Navjot Sidhu, so the CM face was not announced earlier. The nominations in Punjab ended on February 1. After that February 4 was the date of withdrawal of nominations. The Congress waited till then so that if there was any protest, Sidhu or the angry candidates of his camp would not withdraw their nominations. That’s why 6th February was chosen. Earlier, when Sidhu resigned demanding the removal of DGP and Advocate General, cabinet minister Razia Sultana also resigned in his support.
