On Sunday, the Congress put an end to the uncertainty surrounding the leadership of Punjab when it announced Charanjit Singh Channi as the state’s new chief minister.Selecting Channi has earned the Congress praise from several corners since he will be the first Dalit chief minister of Punjab, despite around 30% of the state’s population belonging to the Dalit community. The move has, however, also earned criticism, with BSP chief Mayawati calling Channi a “dummy CM” and dubbing the Congress’s actions an election gimmick.With just a few weeks to go before assembly elections in the state, how will the Congress fair when up against the Akali Dal, the BJP and even the AAP? Moreover, how will the farmers’ movement affect politics in the state? In this video, The Wire’s Arfa Khanum Sherwani tackles all these questions and more.
