Pargat Singh Appointed Punjab Congress Chief Ahead of 2027 Assembly Elections
The Congress appointed former Indian hockey captain and Jalandhar Cantt MLA Pargat Singh as Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president, replacing Amarinder Singh Raja Warring ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections. Singh, a three-time MLA and former Punjab minister, is seen as a unifying figure amid factionalism within the state unit. Warring resigned after meeting Rahul Gandhi, suggesting Sachin Pilot influenced the leadership change. Singh pledged to strengthen the party and emphasized team unity. AAP leader Harpal Singh Cheema questioned Singh's past silence on key issues during his Akali Dal tenure.
