In his Twitter wishes for Channi days ahead of March 10 when the results for elections to five states including Punjab will be declared, the PM sought to make a political statement of camaraderie in times of intense political bickering and fight.
From the Congress side, AICC Punjab in charge Harish Chaudhary was the senior-most leader to have wished Channi by the time PM’s tweet came.
Twitter greetings for Channi from state unit chief Navjot Sidhu and his predecessor Sunil Jakhar were also missing until the time of PM’s message.
