Chandigarh: Former Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi has returned to Punjab from abroad. He had been abroad for the past several months reportedly busy in completing his PhD.
On his return to Punjab, he has not shown any political activism at the moment. CM Bhagwant Mann had recently accused Channi of passing many false files without following required procedures.
He also said that he was not in touch with Channi. Channi, however, had revealed his mobile number from abroad and said he could be contacted anytime in 24 hours. He claims to have a record of everything.
Meanwhile, Channi met Priyanka Gandhi in Delhi soon after returning to India. He also met Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge. It has been described as a courtesy call, while Channi had gone abroad after the party’s defeat in the Punjab Assembly elections. During this time, it was revealed that he was in US, Canada and elsewhere. But now after returning to the country, he first met all the senior leaders in Delhi.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is on his Bharat Jodo Yatra. It is believed that Charanjit Singh Channi has also held talks with senior party leaders in this regard. Also, if Channi does not go abroad again, then he is expected to join Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra.
