AICC forced to issue ‘clarification’ after BJP, BSP and AAP attack Congress for ‘insulting’ a Dalit CM
In a bid to control the damage caused by All India Congress Committee (AICC) in charge of Punjab Harish Rawat’s statement that the party would contest the State Assembly polls under Navjot Singh Sidhu’s leadership, AICC chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala on Monday said both Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi and Mr. Sidhu will be the faces of the party.
While Mr. Channi will represent the government, Mr. Sidhu will be the face of the party in the polls, said Mr. Surjewala, adding that Mr. Rawat’s statement was ‘misconstrued and misrepresented’.
The AICC spokesperson was forced to issue a “clarification” after the BJP, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and the Aam Admi Party (AAP) attacked the Congress for ‘insulting’ a Dalit Chief Minister.
