Chandigarh: Punjab Chief Minister and Congress candidate Charanjit Singh Channi will contest from two seats in the upcoming elections. CM Channi has filed nomination for the upcoming Punjab Assembly elections from Shri Chamkaur Sahib on Tuesday. Earlier on Monday, he had filed his nomination papers from Bhadaur (reserved) seat in Barnala district of the state.
After filing his nomination papers on Monday, Channi had said that Congress has directed him to contest from Bhadaur seat. He had told that, this area is very backward in terms of development and he has come here for a special purpose. Promising to develop the region, he said, “Though Captain Amarinder Singh and Badal sahib (Parkash Singh Badal) were the chief ministers of the state, there has been a lack of development in the region.”
