Ahead of senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s announcement of the party’s chief ministerial candidate for the Punjab Assembly polls, state party chief Navjot Singh Sidhu on Sunday said everyone would abide by his decision.

Gandhi will visit Ludhiana on Sunday to hold a virtual rally and announce the party’s chief ministerial face.

“Nothing great was achieved without judgment. Warm welcome to our pioneer Prakash Rahul ji, who comes to give clarity to Punjab. Everyone will follow his decision!!!” Sidhu said in a tweet.

Sidhu and Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi are the main contenders for the chief ministerial candidate. Both have assured Gandhi that they will stick to the party’s decision.

During his last visit to Punjab on January 27, Gandhi announced at a virtual rally in Ludhiana that the Congress would soon announce its chief ministerial candidate and a decision would be taken after consulting party workers.

Apart from taking feedback from its leaders and workers, the Congress sought public opinion on who should be its chief ministerial candidate through an automated call system.

On Saturday, without naming any party, Sidhu had said that one face will decide whether 60 candidates are elected as MLAs or not. He also emphasized that only a person who has the roadmap for Punjab and who enjoys the trust of the people can ensure that 60 candidates are elected as MLAs.

Elections to the 117-member Punjab Assembly will be held on February 20. The counting of votes will take place on March 10.
