Chandigarh, February 06:

Ending days of uncertainty, Rahul Gandhi on Sunday announced Charanjit Singh Channi as the party’s chief ministerial face for the upcoming Assembly elections, pushing PPCC Chief Navjot Singh Sidhu out of the race.

The moment Rahul Gandhi, who was in Ludhiana to address a virtual rally, made public the chief ministerial face, cheers erupted from the crowd.

All eyes are on Sidhu, who has been saying that he would abide by the party high command’s decision with a rider that the choice of the candidate should be on the basis of honesty and not seen as part of the mafia.
