Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi’s brother goes door to door

PATIALA: A day after making announcement to contest as independent candidate from Bassi Pathana assembly segment against Congress candidate, the brother of chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi,

Manohar Singh

continued his door-to door campaign. He also said his brother

Channi

and other senior Congress leaders had tried to convince him from going independent.

Manohar Singh said he had already made his mind to continue the fight from the Bassi Pathana assembly constituency where he has been working from past few months and many surveys were in his favour.

“My brother Charanjit Singh Channi and Congress senior leaders had tried to convince me to drop my plan to contest from the seat. The party is trying to compensate me. They know injustice has been done to me, as I was a strong contender. I had served the people in this constituency through my NGO, but I was denied the ticket”, said Manohar. Congress candidate and sitting MLA Gurpreet Singh GP said, “CM Channi should intervene and stop his brother from contesting as independent candidate so that Congress can form the government. The decision of the party should be accepted by all cadres.”
