Ahead of the announcement of the chief ministerial candidate for Punjab, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday, 6 February, arrived at the party headquarters in Chandigarh in a car driven by former state unit chief Sunil Jakhar, with Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi and Jakhar's successor Navjot Singh Sidhu in the back.
Projecting unity within the party unit which has witnessed bouts of infighting over the past year, the Punjab Congress tweeted the video from its official handle saying, "Sunil Jhakar drove the car for Rahul Gandhi while Navjot Sidhu and Charanjit Singh Channi were seated in the back. This is how the 'United Congress' will drive the Congress to victory in Punjab!"
