Calls within PPCC for Dalit or Hindu CM candidate in 2012

With the Jat Sikhs dominating Congress politics in the State, calls
for a Dalit or a Hindu Chief Ministerial candidate has been gaining
prominence in a section of Punjab Congress.

Despite being a State with the highest Dalit population in the
country, making a Jat Sikh the Chief Minister has been the trend so
far and now a section wants that this trend be reversed in a bid to
consolidate the Dalit vote base.

Senior party leader and former Punjab Congress president, Shamsher
Singh Dullo has decided to launch a mobilisation programme to press
for his demand for non-Jat Sikh CM.

"I will meet party workers. I do not need any support from the party
leaders as they were keen to save their position." Dullo told The
Pioneer. Earlier during a party meeting at Jalandhar, presided over by
State Congress affairs in-charge, Gulchain Singh Charak, some workers
raised slogans against Congress leadership alleging that PPCC
president was discriminating against Dalit workers. Later, on the
direction of Captain, a show-cause notice was served to the district
Congress president Arun Walia of his failure to act against those
indulging in indiscipline.
