The name of Charanjit Singh Channi as the new CM of Punjab came as a shock to all. Earlier reports had said that Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa would succeed Captain Amarinder Singh. Channi will be the first Dali-Sikh chief minister of the state. Now the opposition parties have called it a big political step to influence the Dalit voters. However, the main question that arises is why the Congress chose a lesser-known face to become the CM when they had options for other senior and influential leaders.
