Ahead of the Punjab Assembly election, Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi has said that the Congress is not facing anti-incumbency in the State. The party will register a landslide victory, Mr. Channi said in an interview with The Hindu. The party, he said, has decided to announce a chief ministerial candidate because the people wanted it.
Taking credit for action against Akali leader Bikram Singh Majithia, the Chief Minister said he had launched “Mission Clean” against the sand, drug, and liquor mafia.
