Pargat Singh Appointed Punjab Congress President Following Raja Warring's Resignation
The Congress party appointed former Indian hockey captain and Jalandhar Cantt MLA Pargat Singh as Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president, replacing Amarinder Singh Raja Warring who resigned amid internal party differences. Singh, a Padma Shri and Arjuna awardee, has served as Punjab's Sports and Education Minister and is backed by Congress leaders including Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge. The leadership change comes ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections amid factionalism and a recent central leadership reshuffle involving Sachin Pilot and Bhupesh Baghel.
