The opposition has attacked the Congress for not making senior Punjab Congress leader Sunil Jakhar the CM despite the support of 42 MLAs. Aam Aadmi Party has linked it to Hindu society. AAP's Punjab co-in-charge Raghav Chadha said that Congress did not make Jakhar the CM just because he was a Hindu. In the press conference, Chadha alleged that Congress has tried to divide Punjab into religious lines. The second-class treatment of Jakhar is unfortunate.
Sunil Jakhar had disclosed in the public meeting
Former Punjab Congress President Sunil Jakhar, while addressing a public meeting, said that after the removal of Captain Amarinder Singh, there was voting in the Congress for the new CM. Out of 79 MLAs, 42 voted in my favor. Charanjit Singh Channi had only two MLAs with him. Despite this, he became the CM. Jakhar said that after me the maximum of 16 MLAs had named Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, 12 MLAs named Preneet Kaur, wife of Captain Amarinder Singh. Six MLAs voted in favor of Navjot Singh Sidhu.
