Punjab Politics: Congress Leadership Struggles, Majha Vote Split, and Akali Dal's Past Challenges
Punjab's political landscape is marked by internal Congress tensions, particularly involving former Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi's faction opposing the party high command's leadership choices.

Meanwhile, Shiromani Akali Dal faces renewed scrutiny over past human rights issues linked to Jaswant Singh Khalra's 1995 murder, with calls for truth commissions resurfacing amid election campaigns.
