HOW PRIYANKA GANDHI RESPONDED TO CHANNI’S NEPOTISM STATEMENT?

(The Quiver) : Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi is facing criticism for his controversial statement. Channi got appointed as CM of Punjab last year and is Congress party’s CM candidate in the state.

While attending a public meeting at Ropar said , “Priyanka Gandhi is the daughter-in-law of Punjab, she is of Punjab. All Punjabis must get together. We will not allow them to enter, the bhaiye from UP, Bihar and Delhi who come here to rule.”

His some parts of speech were enough to land him in controversy, today Priyanka Gandhi responding to the controversy, rescued Channi by saying ,”All that CM Charanjit Singh Channi said was that Punjab should be run by Punjabis. His statement was misconstrued. I don’t think anyone from UP is interested in coming to Punjab and ruling.”

“Arvind Kejriwal, who failed to rule Delhi properly, is now claiming that he can rule Punjab. How is this possible?” asked Priyanka Gandhi Vadra aiming at the AAP.

“They [BJP, AAP] are in Punjab only to fulfil their own desires. Channi ji has clearly said that the state needs a strong and stable government that works for its people… I can see a Congress wave in Punjab,” said Priyanka Gandhi Vadra .

 Channi later issued a clarification, claiming his statement was being “distorted”.

“All the migrants who have come to Punjab have put their sweat and blood into the development of the state  and they have always worked for development but some people like Durgesh pathak, Sanjay Singh and Kejriwal ,coming from outside cause disturbance , I have said about them. So don’t represent this in a wrong way” Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi said on Thursday.
