Sachin Pilot Appointed Congress Punjab In-Charge Ahead of Assembly Elections
Sachin Pilot has been appointed Congress general secretary in charge of Punjab, replacing Bhupesh Baghel, as the party aims to unify its state unit ahead of upcoming Assembly elections. Pilot emphasized Congress as the only viable alternative to the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which he described as fractured amid resignations and defections. The reshuffle reflects Congress's broader strategy to address internal divisions and strengthen its position in Punjab and nationally, with Rahul Gandhi focusing on younger leadership and organizational accountability.
