Charanjit Singh Channi’s appointment preceded a political drama inside the Punjab Congress party, a result of inner party bickering over the issue of party and state leadership.

A lawyer, management graduate, and self proclaimed lifelong student, and pro-Dalit, Channi has been a self-made politician, who was reportedly an active participant in the protest against the leadership of his predecessor Captain Amarinder Singh.
