Talking to the news portal, Congress's CM face for Punjab assembly polls Channi said, AAP is trying to hit at his 'aam aadmi' image by spreading lies. Speaking on Sidhu's reaction after the party choose Chaani as CM's face, he said Sidhu has honored his word of supporting any leader the party choose.
Speaking on the votes and supporters, Channi said "I am observing a one-sided sentiment in favor of Congress at public meetings. People want to vote in Congress again. It is for the first time that I have seen a wedding-like buzz at Congress events. It has pushed the AAP into despair."
On being asked if Sidhu has reconciled the party's decision, Channi said "Yes. He's busy fighting his election. Sunil Jakhar too was with me yesterday. The election is being fought unitedly by the Congress."
