Sachin Pilot Appointed Congress In-Charge for Punjab Ahead of Assembly Elections
Sachin Pilot has been appointed Congress general secretary in charge of Punjab, replacing Bhupesh Baghel ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections. Pilot emphasized Congress as the only viable alternative to the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which he described as fractured amid recent resignations and defections. He aims to unify the party amid internal divisions and present a new governance model, while observers note his leadership experience and the challenge of managing factionalism within Punjab's Congress unit.
