New Delhi, September 29

The Congress hit back at G-23 leaders for questioning the decision making processes in the party and said those questioning the elevation of a Scheduled Caste leader Charanjit Channi as Punjab CM were anti-SC.

Hours after Kapil Sibal demanded a CWC meeting saying no one knew who was taking decisions in the Congress, party media chief Randeep Surjewala tweeted, “People seated in the corridors of power have been hurt. Because a Scheduled Caste leader was elevated as CM, they ask who is taking decisions in the Congress. They cannot digest the promotion of an SC. The residence of home minister Amit Shah is the epicentre of anti-SC politics.”

Surjewala said Amit Shah and PM Modi wanted to take revenge on Punjab because they have so far been unable to benefit their “friends through black farm laws”. “BJP’s anti-farmer conspiracy will not succeed,” Surjewala said.
