Charanjit Singh Channi has taken over as the new Chief Minister of Punjab, but the issue is whether the Congress has played a Dalit card by electing Charanjit Singh Channi? Channi comes from the Dalit Sikh community and is the first Dalit face in Punjab, which has about 32 percent of the Dalit population, to have held the biggest seat of power in the state. In such a situation, is this move of Congress a masterstroke? By the way, a tweet by Sunil Jakhar has created a ruckus on the very first day. Although Jakhar has said that he is not upset but he has strongly opposed the indications of contesting the elections under the leadership of Navjot Singh Sidhu. Is Congress's Dalit card in Punjab is damage control attempt? What did Congress Spokesperson Ragini Nayak say over this?
