Chandigarh: Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi remarked on Tuesday, in response to raids at his relative Bhupinder Singh Honeyโ€™s home, that โ€œthe same thing happened during the West Bengal polls, it is to put pressure on me in light of the approaching Assembly polls.โ€

โ€œThey are targetting me and trying to put pressure on me in view of upcoming Assembly polls. This is not good for democracy. We are ready to fight this. The same thing happened during West Bengal elections,โ€ Mr Channi said.
