Punjab Minister Flips Coin To Make Decision, Congress Defends Him

Chandigarh:  A minister in Punjab has been caught on camera flipping a coin to decide between two candidates for the post of lecturer. The clip - zoomed in, frozen and looped on television channels - has deeply embarrassed the state's ruling Congress, which claims that Technical Education Minister Charanjit Singh Channi only intended to make a choice in a "transparent" manner.

The incident took place yesterday, when the postings of 27 recruits of the Punjab Public Service Commission were decided in the minister's office. Two lecturers sought the same posting at a government polytechnic institute in Patiala.

As Mr Channi debated what to do, some bureaucrats in his office suggested he should go by merit. But the minister, according to reports, said, "Why don't we toss?" The young candidates went along with it and many in the room were seen chuckling when the minister tossed the coin.

A spokesperson of the Congress government accused the media of whipping up an unnecessary controversy.

"One of the candidates said his scores were better than the other candidate, while the other one said he was more experienced. The minister had asked them to solve the matter mutually, but they insisted that he should take a decision. The minister then asked them about flipping a coin, to which both agreed," said a government spokesperson.

A television channel quoted Congress leader Charan Singh Sapra as saying, "Decisions in the World Cup also happen by toss, Mr. Channi has not committed a crime."

The BJP has called for the minister's removal and so has its ally, the Akali Dal.

"This indicates the quality of ministers in Amarinder Singh's cabinet. Public should vote him out. There are some criteria to take such decisions, this man is just tossing the coin. This shows the kind of frivolous thinking," said Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal of the state's opposition Akali Dal.
