Charanajit Singh as Punajb New CM: After the resignation of Captain Amarinder Singh, many names were coming out as the new Chief Minister of Punjab, but the person chosen by the Punjab Congress was a surprise to everyone. The Punjab Congress chose 58-year-old Technical Education and Industrial Training Minister Charanjit Singh as the next head of the state. Before Channi, there was a monopoly (monopoly) of the Jat Sikhs on the post of Chief Minister of the state. There are many main reasons behind the handing over of the command of the state to Channi, including the strategy preparations for the next election. Given below are five such major reasons, due to which Channi has got the captaincy of the state.
Dalit Factor
- Punjab is one of those states in the country, where the number of Dalits is highest. Dalits constitute about 32 per cent of the population in Punjab and some researchers believe that when the current population figures come out, this number can go up to 38 per cent.
- Talking about Jat Sikhs, their number in Punjab is only 25 percent but they have a monopoly in the politics of the state. There are 36 reserved seats in the 117-member Punjab Assembly. 20 Congress MLAs are Dalits but only three were included in the cabinet.
- Recently Navjot Singh Sidhu was made the chief of Punjab Congress and now by handing over the command of the state to a Dalit, the Congress party has fulfilled the long-standing demand of a Dalit to be made the Chief Minister.

edge over opposition
Both the Shiromani Akali Dal-BSP alliance and the Aam Aadmi Party have promised to make a Dalit deputy chief minister if the government is formed in the state. Now by making Channi the Chief Minister, the Congress has been successful in making an edge over the opposition.
sikh face
- Channi is not only a Dalit but also a Sikh. Former Punjab Congress chief Sunil Kumar Jakhar was also in the race for the next chief minister’s post after Captain Amarinder Singh’s resignation, but Congress leader Ambina Soni rejected the proposal saying a Punjabi state should not have a Hindu chief minister. could.
- On Jakhar’s proposal, Jails and Cooperation Minister Sukhwinder Singh Randhawa also opposed the proposal to make Jakhar the Chief Minister. Randhawa had said that if he supported a non-Sikh being made the chief minister of the state, he would not be able to face the future generation. In such a situation, it was very difficult to make Jakhar the successor of Captain, who paved the way for Channi.

Acceptance in the party with differences
Channi is known for his political shrewdness and will be able to compromise the voices of opposition within the party. He is close to the Majha brigade of three ministers who pitted MLAs against Captain Amarinder Singh. Apart from this, Sidhu cannot take wrong steps against him and it will be difficult for the Captain to target any Dalit face.
mass appeal
- Channi started politics as a student leader belonging to a small village of Kharar, a town in Mohali. His story comes from a large number of people i.e. starting from the bottom in a small village.
Channi’s biggest strength is education. While making a career in politics, he has continuously strengthened his skills. - As the Minister of Technical Education, he has played a big role in organizing employment fairs and opening new colleges and skill centres.
- The Congress party is hopeful that he will be able to provide employment and education to the people of the state, which is currently going through a phase of migration.
