Congress treated Jakhar like a second class citizen. Chadha also raised the question that why Sunil Jakhar’s name is not there along with Sidhu and Channi in the Congress CM face survey?.

Now Arvind Kejriwal is also asking that the Congress is asking the people in Punjab to choose between Channi and Sidhu as the CM face. Why did Congress not include Sunil Jakhar’s name in it?

38% Hindu vote bank in Punjab

There is about 38% Hindu vote bank in Punjab. In Congress, both CM Charanjit Channi and organization head Navjot Sidhu are Sikh faces. Captain Amarinder Singh was a big face for the Congress for the Hindu vote bank, but he left after removing him from the CM chair. In such a situation, the concern of Congress has already increased. On top of this, now the Congress is surrounded by Sunil Jakhar for not making him the CM because of being a Hindu. For which you are also heating up the issue by targeting him.
