The Channi government of the Congress in Punjab finally surrendered to the pressure of Navjot Sidhu. On Tuesday, a decision was taken to remove the DGP and Advocate General (AG). He once again proved his point that whoever is on the chair, is the 'Super-CM' of Punjab.
This reminded the Congress of the incident in 2013 in which Rahul Gandhi tore the ordinance of Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh-led UPA government. When this incident happened, PM Dr. Singh was on a tour of America. After that, the discussion started in the country that Dr. Singh is definitely the PM, but the real power belongs to the Gandhi family.
A similar situation appears in Punjab as well. Charanjit Channi is definitely on the CM's chair, but the work is being done according to Sidhu. Now even the opponents are making statements regarding this. They are saying that the real CM is Sidhu instead of Charanjit Channi.
Sonia Gandhi chaired the Congress Working Committee (CWC) in Delhi in October. she said don't talk to me through the media. Sidhu sent a letter to Sonia Gandhi the following day and posted it on social media. Channi Sarkar made electricity cheaper by Rs 3 while giving Diwali gifts. Sidhu flaunted the verdict and Said it is all lie. The government is giving lollipops.
Punjab Congress in-charge Harish Chaudhary took Sidhu and CM Channi to celebrate Kedarnath. There it was decided that Sidhu would not speak publicly against the government. Sidhu did not agree and cursed the government strongly by holding a press conference.
CM Channi made petrol cheaper by Rs 10 and diesel by Rs 5. Sidhu called a press conference and said will you be able to give it 5 years. He asked the Congress High Command and Channi Sarkar to choose the President of Punjab Congress or the AG and DGP with the agreement. However, Congress chose him.
Sidhu is also following exactly the path of Rahul Gandhi. In 2013, the UPA government stood at the center, and Dr. Manmohan Singh was the PM. Then Rahul Gandhi tore an ordinance of the Manmohan Singh government. Rahul had termed it as complete nonsense. At that time Manmohan was in New York on a visit to America. However, due to this, Dr. Singh had even thought of resigning from the post of PM.
Congress has many compulsions regarding Punjab. The biggest wish is to repeat the government in Punjab. So that the party can get feel relaxed before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. After the departure of Captain Amarinder Singh, the Congress has no veteran face except Sidhu. In such a situation, keeping Sidhu has now become a compulsion.
After the cabinet on Tuesday, there was a joint press conference of CM Channi and Navjot Sidhu. First of all, CM said the line of Punjabi song 'Jitthe chalenga, chalungi naal tere, tikta do le lei'. This clearly showed the helplessness of CM Channi not to allow him to work despite the Chief Minister holding a constitutional post.
