Channi losing from both constituencies: Kejriwal

Amritsar: AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday claimed that Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi is losing from both constituencies-- Chamkaur Sahib and Bhadaur – in the February 20 assembly polls.

“We have conducted surveys thrice. In all the three surveys, the Aam Aadmi Party was ahead in both the seats,” he said while addressing the media here.

Channi, who is Congress's chief ministerial candidate, is contesting the polls from his home turf Chamkaur Sahib in Rupnagar and Bhadaur in Barnala.

According to the survey, in Chamkaur Sahib, Channi is liked by 35 per cent people and 52 per cent people chose the AAP, claimed Kejriwal, who is the AAP’s national convener and chief minister of Delhi.

On the other hand, in Bhadaur, the second constituency from where Channi is contesting, 48 per cent people liked the AAP candidate while Channi was liked by only 30 per cent people, he said.

Kejriwal said Channi will remain only the chief ministerial face of the Congress because when he loses from both seats and is not an MLA how will he become the CM.
