Punjab Election Results: Punjab CM Channi Likely to Submit Resignation as AAP Crosses Halfway Mark

AMRITSAR: Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi has arrived at his official residence in Chandigarh and is likely to meet the Governor to submit his resignation as the Aam Aadmi Party crossed the halfway mark in Punjab.

Meanwhile, celebrations break out at AAP's CM candidate Bhagwant Mann's residence in Sangrur as the party crosses the majority mark in Punjab.

As the AAP crossed the majority mark in early trends in Punjab, the party's co-in charge in the state, Raghav Chadha said, "We're 'aam aadmi' but when 'Aam Aadmi' rises, the mightiest of thrones shake. Today's an important day in India's history, not only because AAP is winning one more state but because it has become a national force. AAP will become Congress' replacement."

Notably, Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi is trailing in Chamkaur Sahib, while the AAP has crossed the majority mark in early trends.

Amarinder Singh of the Punjab Lok Congress, who fought the polls with the BJP, is trailing. Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) chief Sukhbir Badal is also trailing.
