- 3 years ago
A day after Captain Amarinder Singh stepped down, Charanjit Singh Channi has been elected as the new Punjab Chief Minister. He will be the first Dalit CM of Punjab.
Confirming the news, Harish Rawat tweeted, "It gives me immense pleasure to announce that Sh Charanjit Singh Channi has been unanimously elected as the Leader of the Congress Legislature Party of Punjab."
The announcement came as a surprise as it was earlier reported that the AICC had finalised the name of Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa for the post of CM.
