Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi is losing from both the seats from where he is fighting the 2022 Assembly elections, Aam Aam Party leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal claimed on Saturday.

While addressing a press conference in Amritsar along with AAP’s chief ministerial candidate Bhagwant Mann, Arvind Kejriwal said that his party had done a survey for Chamkaur Sahib and Bhadaur – the seats where Charanjit Singh Channi is fighting the 2022 elections.

“The results of the first survey were shocking,” Kejriwal said. “We did the survey two more times. Channi is losing from both the seats. “AAP is at 52% (in terms of votes) in Chamkaur Sahib, Channi is at 35%. In Bhadaur, AAP is at 48% and Channi is at 30%. He is the CM face but he will not become CM. If he won’t become an MLA, how will he be the CM?”

Kejriwal claimed that the people of Chamkaur Sahib were very upset with Channi. “They feel that he has not done anything for the public,” the Delhi chief minister said. “There is no question of Channi becoming the CM. Congress is losing the election.”
