Channi May Be Congress' CM Face in Punjab Polls, Video With Sonu Sood Suggests

In the video, Sonu Sood says that the CM candidate should be someone who doesn't have to campaign hard.

As Punjab Assembly elections approach, a video shared by the Congress on Monday, 17 January, cryptically suggests that Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi may be the party's chief ministerial candidate for the polls.

The 36-second-long montage shows actor Sonu Sood delivering a message that the man for the chief minister's post is someone who doesn't have to campaign hard for his job.

"The real chief minister, the real king is the one who is forcibly brought to the chair, and who does not have to struggle for it and does not have to state that I am the CM candidate, I deserve it. He should be a backbencher, who is brought from behind and told that you deserve it, you should become the CM. Such a chief minister can bring change in the country," Sood says in the video.
