Notably, Channi on Sunday called the Poonch terror attack in which an IAF soldier was killed and four were injured, a "stunt" meant to make the BJP win the Lok Sabha elections.

Former Punjab CM Channi takes u-turn after criticism over 'poonch attack' remark

Notably, Channi on Sunday called the Poonch terror attack in which an IAF soldier was killed and four were injured, a "stunt" meant to make the BJP win the Lok Sabha elections.

Day after receiving massive backlash over his 'Poonch Stuntbaazi' remark, former Punjab Chief Minister Charanajit Singh Channi has issued a new statement, moving away from the earlier one.
In a video message, Channi, backtracking from his comment, has now said that 'we are proud of our jawans protecting the country', adding that his earlier message was misunderstood.
The Punjab Congress leader further said that he aimed to highlight the failure of the government that could not name or unveil the people behind Poonch terror attack that took place in 2019 which is why another similar attack took place on May 5.&nbsp;

Following a massive controversy in which even Prime Minister Narendra Modi intervened, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi and Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi clarified on the latter's remarks.
Days earlier, CM Channi had said that 'bhaiyyas' from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Delhi cannot be allowed to come and rule Punjab.&nbsp;He was accompanied by Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who is leading Congress' campaign in UP, when he made the comments.

Channi and Priyanka claimed that the comment was twisted out of context by opponents.&nbsp;The CM said that he was referring to individuals like Delhi CM and Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal, and not migrant workers.

Punjab will be voting to elect its next government on February 20. Results of the polls will be announced on March 10.

Punjab --- the land of five rivers.
The Sutlej, Beas, Ravi, Chenab and Jhelum define the geography.
But it's the three regions of the state, again carved out by the rivers, that define its politics.
All through the election season you will hear Malwa, Majha and Doaba. The three regions that make up Punjab politically. All the three regions have their distinct social, economic and political identity.
The Majha region of present-day Punjab falls between the Ravi and the Beas. Then begins Doaba, which literally means the land between two rivers. It starts from the Beas and goes on till the Sutlej. Beyond the Sutlej lies the Malwa region, the biggest of the three.
First let's take a closer look at Malwa region:
Malwa: The Political Monopoly
It's the largest region with 69 of Punjab's 117 Assembly seats.
All but two CMs of the state have been from this region.
Current CM Channi, former CMs Captain Amarinder Singh and Badal come from Malwa.
2017: Congress won 40 of 69 seats, AAP made an impressive debut winning 18 seats in the region. 
Akalis lost their traditional stronghold and could only win 8 seats in Malwa.
Aam Aadmi Party won all of its 4 Lok Sabha seats in 2014 from Malwa region.
Malwa was also the epicentre of the year-long farm agitation. According to a Punjab University study, around 80 per cent of the 700-odd farmers who died during the protests belonged to the Malwa region.
Glaring inequality in landholdings with big landlords holding hundreds of acres while majority make do with little landholdings.
Majha: Where Religion and Politics Mix
Majha region is nestled between Ravi and Beas rivers, on border with Pakistan.
Majha means ‘in the middle’, and it used to be the centre of undivided Punjab before Partition.
With 25 Assembly seats, Majha is the hotbed of "panthic" or religious politics in the state.
Home to Golden Temple in Amritsar and Kartarpur Corridor that connects to Darbar Sahib in Pakistan.
Region has traditionally been a stronghold of Akali Dal, but that changed in 2017
In 2017,  the Congress won 22 seats, and the SAD was marginalised to just 2.
AAP is yet to open its account in the region.
Doaba: The Dalit votebank
Lying between the Satluj and Beas, Doaba means between two rivers.
Most prosperous region of Punjab due to its fertile land and NRI remittances.
Smallest region in Punjab politically, with 23 assembly seats.
Important in terms of Dalit votes with SC population ranging from 25% to 75% in its seats.
Dalits form 32% of Punjab's population, highest in the country.
Epicentre of the Deras,  birthplace of the Dalit Renaissance.
The SC population here is better educated, more prosperous, and socially integrated.
A Congress citadel as party won 15 seats in 2017, five went to SAD and two to the AAP.

Why Channi, what next for Sidhu as Rahul Gandhi announces CM face
 

Why Charanjit Singh Channi, what next for Navjot Singh Sidhu as Rahul Gandhi announces Congress' CM face for Punjab Election 2022

After suffering a series of electoral debacles in the recent past, the Congress seems to have decided to roll the dice in Punjab.

Why Channi, what next for Sidhu as Rahul Gandhi announces CM face

((TODAY RAHUL GANDHI RALLY WITH SIDHU, CHANNI, JAKHAR VISUALS))
 After suffering a series of electoral debacles in the recent past, the Congress seems to have decided to roll the dice in Punjab. In a rare move, Rahul Gandhi, who is considered to be the de-facto chief of the party, announced the Congress' chief ministerial face for the upcoming elections. Amid stiff competition from Navjot Singh Sidhu, Gandhi declared incumbent CM Charanjit Singh Channi as the CM face.
&nbsp;
 ((SIDHU, CHANNI TOGETHER TODAY VISUALS))
 This comes after months of veiled jibes flying between the CM and the state Congress chief revealed the infighting in the party in one of the handful of states it rules. But will the announcement of the CM candidate end, or intensify, the tussle for dominance?
&nbsp;
 ((RAHUL IN CAR TODAY VISUALS))
 Preceding Gandhi's arrival in the state, Sidhu had declared that all would abide by the leader's decision. Gandhi reached the venue in a car driven by another Congress veteran believed to be miffed with the high command - Sunil Jakhar. Meanwhile, Channi and Sidhu sat in the rear seat.
&nbsp;
 ((RALLY VISUALS - TRY TO FIND SHOTS MATCHING THE VO))
 At the venue where Gandhi announced his decision, scenes of bonhomie were seen between Channi, Sidhu, and Jakhar. During Sidhu's emotional speech, he reportedly received a hug from Channi. Both Sidhu and Jakhar reportedly praised Gandhi for making Channi the CM after Amarinder Singh resigned. Channi is Punjab's first CM who belongs to the Dalit community. At the event, Gandhi reiterated that the choice for the CM candidate was made according to tele-voting by party workers and the people of the state. However, just days earlier, the voices weren't so harmonious.
&nbsp;
 ((SIDHU VISUALS))
 Recently, Sidhu was quoted as saying at a gathering that "those at the top want a weak CM, who will dance to their tunes". While some considered this as an attack on the Gandhis, Sidhu's team insisted that he was referring to the Modi government at the Centre preferring a subservient administration in the state. Also, amid the controversy over the arrest of Channi's nephew in an Enforcement Directorate case, Sidhu had reportedly said that people want someone 'honest' as the CM.
&nbsp;
 ((SIDHU, AMARINDER VISUALS))
 Sidhu had led the rebellion which led to Amarinder Singh's exit from the Congress. The cricketer-turned-politician seems to have been staking claim for the top job ever since.
&nbsp;
 ((JAKHAR VISUALS))
 Meanwhile, Sunil Jakhar was recently quoted in reports as saying that when Amarinder Singh resigned, 42 out of 79 Congress MLAs had supported Jakhar to be the next CM, while only 2 had backed Channi. However, he had also claimed that he is not in the fray to be the CM candidate.
&nbsp;
 ((RAHUL, CHANNI, SIDHU VISUALS))
 Now, with the high command throwing its weight behind Channi, has the tug-of-war ended, or just abated till the contenders find another opportune moment?

Just days ahead on Punjab Assembly elections, Enforcement Directorate has arrested Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi's nephew in an alleged case of illegal sand mining.
Bhupinder Singh Honey was arrested on Thursday evening after day-long questioning by the central agency in the sand mining case.

In a statement, the Enforcement Directorate had said "incriminating" documents related to the "illegal" sand mining and property transactions, mobile phones, gold worth more than ₹ 21 lakh, and a Rolex watch worth ₹ 12 lakh were also seized during the searches.
CM Channi had slammed the raids calling them Centre's pressure tactics ahead of polls.

The Congress Sunday released its third list of eight candidates for the February 20 Punjab assembly polls, fielding Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi from Bhadaur and Chamkaur Sahib seats.
