Challenges for Congress after Aam Aadmi Party declares CM face for Punjab polls, SAD content with Sukhbir Badal

Even as the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has taken the lead in announcing the name of its chief ministerial candidate for the February 20 Punjab Assembly elections, it now remains to be seen whether the Congress and the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) ) will follow suit. , However, it will be more challenging for the ruling Congress to announce its CM face at this juncture as there is a tug of war between Charanjit Singh Channi and state party president Navjot Singh Sidhu.

When Sidhu is targeting his own government, he is not hesitant to announce the agenda of ‘Punjab Model’. While Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi released a video on his official Facebook page focusing on five years of development in Punjab and restoring the lost glory of the state. While Channi is talking about the work done by him in the last 100 days, he also talks about the future of the state with him as the CM in the video. Adding to the speculation over the party’s CM face, the Congress released a video on its official Twitter handle late on Monday night, focusing on Channi, and it was picked up by none other than actor Sonu Sood, whose sister was recently inducted into the party. Will contest from Moga

While the fight continues in the Congress, senior leaders say the party rarely had a tradition of declaring a CM face. A senior Congress leader said, “The year 2017 was the only exception when the name of Captain Amarinder Singh was announced, otherwise, only after the elections, the Congress legislature party chose the CM in consultation with the party high command.” Who is also a part of the Screening Committee of Punjab.

Meanwhile, Akali Dal will contest under the leadership of Sukhbir Singh Badal and SAD-BSP (Bahujan Samaj Party) will be in alliance for the upcoming elections. Senior Akali Dal leader Daljit Singh Cheema said, “Parkash Singh Badal has already showered his blessings on Sukhbir and said that the party should now contest the elections under his leadership.” But the party has not yet officially announced the CM face.

The BJP, Shiromani Akali Dal (Democratic) and the second front, led by Captain Amarinder Singh’s Punjab Lok Congress, have announced an alliance but are yet to announce the seat-sharing formula and party leaders have said that It will happen soon.
