Charanjit Singh Channi Gains Support Amid Punjab Congress Leadership Tensions
Former Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi has received praise from Tarsem Singh, father of jailed MP Amritpal Singh, for raising Sikh community issues, a move that has caused unease within the Congress. Channi's supporters have also asserted their intention to project him as the party's chief ministerial candidate ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections, despite the absence of Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring at key rallies. The developments highlight internal divisions within the Punjab Congress ahead of upcoming polls.
