Instead of Charanjit Singh Channi asking UP and Bihar's 'bhaiye' to be kicked out and Priyanka Gandhi clapping on the remark, the Congress leaders should thank them.
As PM Modi, Rahul & Priyanka Gandhi pay homage on Ravidas Jayanti, all political parties this poll season have tried to cash in on fierce Dalit pride symbolised by the Guru.
Channi declared CM candidate by Rahul Gandhi at Ludhiana rally. “I have already accepted decision…will walk shoulder to shoulder with whoever leads state,” says Navjot Singh Sidhu.
Rahul Gandhi, who made the announcement said people of Punjab needed a CM from 'gareeb ghar' (poor family). The other main contender was Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu.
Sidhu said during his 17 years of political career he never lived for any post but always wanted Punjab's betterment and improvement in lives of its people.
Sidhu's omission from list has surprised many, and Congress leaders are divided over whether it's a 'sign' from the high command, or he's just too busy with Punjab campaign.

Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
