Chandigarh: The results of the Punjab assembly elections have further widen the rift within the Congress party.
Former Punjab Congress president Sunil Jakhar allegedly levelled corruption charges against his party leader and former chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi.
Jakhar questioned that how can a person who has got Rs 35 crore be poor.
The Congress party had made Channi the face in the assembly elections by terming him a poor and common man, which did not go well as Congress managed to get only 18 seats and Channi had lost his both assembly seats.
Jakhar blamed the defeat on Channi and Rajya Sabha member Ambika Soni, who supported Channi.
Lambasting Channi, Jakhar said that if Channi was actually an asset, then why was he not invited to the CWC? and why was he not invited to campaign in Uttar Pradesh.
