Punjab has witnessed hectic political activity in the past few weeks after its chief minisiter, Amarinder Singh, resigned citing continued humiliation by the central Congress leadership. He has been replaced by Charanjit Singh Channi while former cricketer-turned-politician Navjyot Singh Sidhu remains the president of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee. To explain these developments and the implications it will have on the state politics, we spoke to Dr Ashutosh Kumar, Professor and Chairperson at the Department of Political Science, Panjab University.

True, now victory for Amrinder Singh is not to win the election and to become CM again by forming a new party but a victory for him is in keeping Navjot Singh Sidhu away from CM and to ensure congress defeat in the next election. By making Channi as CM of Punjab congress high command ensured a puppet govt in their hand or I think rubber stamp govt is a much better word, which was not possible for congress high command when Amrinder Singh was there.
