Punjab Congress Focuses on Issue-Based Politics Amid Leadership ChangesPreviousNext

Punjab Congress is undergoing leadership changes with Pargat Singh appointed as the new state chief, emphasizing issue-based politics and distancing from historical controversies like the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, which he called a mistake echoed by senior Congress leaders. Meanwhile, former Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring remains active, prominently participating in opposition protests alongside Rahul Gandhi. Both leaders highlight efforts to revitalize the party ahead of the 2027 assembly elections amid ongoing political challenges in Punjab.
