In Punjab, the Congress has played a big gamble by making a Dalit leader the Chief Minister and the party has started cashing in on this as soon as Charanjit Singh Channi was sworn in as the Chief Minister. Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala, during a press conference from the National Headquarters, has not only sung the party slogans but also warned the opposition parties to declare the Dalit leader as the Chief Minister. Apart from this, while clarifying the statement made by Harish Rawat, in-charge of Punjab affairs, Randeep Singh Surjewala has made it clear that Charanjit Singh Channi will be the chief minister’s face in the next election. He has challenged BSP supremo Mayawati to contest the elections with Shiromani Akali Dal Badal and declare that his Chief Minister will also be a Dalit. Surjewala has also challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party, saying that he is also running the government in a dozen states himself and in alliance, will he also make the Dalit leader the chief minister there. Ranjit Singh Surjewala has said that it is the Congress which has first appointed the Dalit President, Legislative Assembly Speaker and now the country’s first Dalit Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi.
