Amid the political turmoil in Punjab, Deputy CM Punjab, Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa has confessed for the first time that he was the only name for the Punjab CM after the ouster of Captain Amarinder Singh from the post. He was even given congratulations messages but at the last moment things had changed and Charanjit Singh Channi who sat next to him was chosen as the CM.

 
When Captain Amarinder Singh resigned as Punjab Chief Minister, citing a political disagreement with newly elected Congress Punjab Unit Head Navjot Singh Sidhu.

 
The search for new CM started.  Congress high command wanted to make history's by making the first Hindu CM in Punjab.  For this, Sunil Jakhar name popped up and he was called back from Bangalore.  Also, Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP Ambika Soni who was supposed to be the first choice for the CM post but she declined the offer.

 
During the late-night meeting with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, she said no and cited consequences of a non-Sikh CM, ahead of the upcoming election.

 
Then the talk of Sikh CM face started in the Punjab. In which Ambika Soni has played the biggest role. Then Sukhjinder Randhawa name came to the fore.  However, then Navjot Sidhu said that if a Jatt Sikh has to be made the CM, then he would become the CM. 

 
Taking into consideration the tussle between the two leaders. The Congress high command made Charanjit Channi the first Dalit CM in Punjab.

 
Meanwhile, Sukhjinder Randhawa said on the question of becoming the Chief Minister in future that if the fight of two top leaders end, only then the third will get a chance.  It seems, his statement is meant for Navjot Sidhu and Charanjit Channi, who are constantly staking claim for the CM face. 

 
However, in the recent virtual rally, Rahul Gandhi said that the Congress would announce the CM face in Punjab after the due discussion with the party workers.
