Congress can play safe game in the battle for CM face in Punjab. In this, CM Charanjit Channi and Punjab Congress Chief Navjot Sidhu can be made the CM face for two and a half years. However, after the formation of the government, who will become the first CM?, the MLA will come after choosing it. The math of vote bank in Punjab elections is such that Congress cannot take risk by naming any one.
Congress is announcing CM face tomorrow in Punjab. For this Rahul Gandhi will come to Ludhiana. He will tell about the CM face at 2 pm through a virtual rally from Ludhiana. Rahul’s virtual rally will also be telecast live in 117 assembly seats of Punjab.
Read… Safe game necessary for Congress?
First understand from the point of view of Charanjit Channi…
- If Charanjit Channi is not made the CM face, Congress will directly lose 32% Dalit vote bank. If Congress leaves Channi’s side then wrong message will be sent among Dalits. It would appear that the Congress had made Channi a makeshift CM only to garner votes.
- Congress is now seeking votes only on Channi’s 111 days of work. Earlier, Captain Amarinder Singh, who had a government of four and a half years, has forged an alliance with the BJP. If Channi is not the only face then on what basis will Congress ask for votes.
Rahul Gandhi gave equal priority to Channi and Sidhu in Punjab tour a few days back.
Now read… why Navjot Sidhu is important…
- Navjot Sidhu is a big face for Congress in Punjab. Congress snatched the CM’s chair from Captain Amarinder Singh only by playing bets on Sidhu. Tickets were given on many seats only at the behest of Sidhu.
- By ignoring Navjot Sidhu, there will be a direct loss of 19% JattSikh vote bank in Punjab. Congress does not want to send the message that it is playing bets only on Dalits in Punjab. This will cause a big loss to the Congress in the largest Malwa region with 69 seats.
- The Congress fears that if Sidhu does not become the CM face, then he may suddenly take such a step, which will make it difficult for the Congress in the middle elections. Sidhu has already surprised everyone by resigning on the issue of not changing the DGP and Advocate General. In such a situation, the party will suffer a loss in the election and the opponents will also cash in on this issue a lot.
Sunil Jakhar had claimed that the highest voting was in his favor after Captain
Dalit and JattSikh vote bank is now necessary for Congress
Dalit and JattSikh vote bank is essential for Congress in Punjab. This is because the Congress is facing a lot of trouble in the Hindu vote bank. His big Hindu face Sunil Jakhar is away from the campaign. At the same time, a few days ago, despite having 42 MLAs in his favor, he said that he should not make CM. Which the opponents made an issue that due to being a Hindu, Congress did not make Jakhar the CM. At the same time, the Captain and BJP alliance in the cities can also harm the Hindu vote bank for the Congress. In such a situation, it has become a compulsion for the Congress to play bets on the Channi-Sidhu pair.
Now understand… what is the benefit of Congress from this?
There is a tussle in the Congress in Punjab after the departure of Captain Amarinder Singh. In such a situation, putting forward one face is like hitting an ax on the feet for the Congress. Now after a formula of two and a half years, Navjot Sidhu and Charanjit Channi will try their best to win their supporting candidates, so that they can reach the CM’s chair first. With this the Congress will put full emphasis that it can be returned to power. Who is to be made the CM first, the key will be left with the Congress high command. This has been the tradition in Congress.
In Chandigarh, Harish Chaudhary refused to explain the method of Congress survey
Is that why Congress is not telling the method of survey..?
Congress’s Punjab in-charge Harish Chaudhary said in Chandigarh on Friday that tomorrow Rahul Gandhi will announce the CM face, but how was this face decided? Choudhary remained silent on this. It is clear that what was the survey, what was its result? Only the Congress high command will know about it. In such a situation, whatever Rahul Gandhi will say, it will have to be accepted by Channi and Sidhu. Like both of them have already given its assurance.
