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.
