Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa is likely to be declared as Punjab Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader, who would be State’s next Chief Minister, multiple sources said.

Randhawa, the Jails and Cooperation Minister in the outgoing cabinet, has emerged as the frontrunner for the post, sources said.

Although sources are claiming that his name would be announced as the next chief minister, Randhawa suggested that no such decision has been finalised.
