New Punjab CM Charanjit Channi is first Dalit CM for Punjab. Charanjit Singh Channi, who has replaced Amarinder Singh as the chief minister in Punjab, is the first Dalit to hold this office in the state. Entire new line of controversy has began about his elevation after party declared that Sidhu will also lead the state. That supports the allegation that Channi is just ‘night watchman’ until elections and have no liberty.
