Punjab Elections 2022: Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi to contest from 2 seats

The Congress on Sunday released its third list of eight candidates for Punjab assembly polls, fielding Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi from Bhadaur and Chamkaur Sahib seats.

Channi had taken over as chief minister of Punjab in September after Congress sacked Amarinder Singh following a bitter feud between him and Navjot Singh Sidhu.

The Congress also fielded former Patiala mayor Vishnu Sharma from the Patiala assembly seats against its former leader Amarinder Singh.
