Congress Observers Conclude Punjab Unit Review Amid Questions on Invitee Selection
A three-member Congress observer team concluded meetings in New Delhi to assess the Punjab unit ahead of Assembly elections. However, the selective invitation of around 66 leaders, excluding notable figures like Chandigarh MP Manish Tewari and several former ministers, has raised questions about the criteria used. Some leaders allege bias favoring those from the Charanjit Singh Channi government over the Capt Amarinder Singh-led administration. Discussions may continue with additional leaders called in later amid leadership lobbying.
