Factional Tensions Persist in Punjab Congress Ahead of 2027 Assembly Elections
Punjab Congress faces ongoing factional tensions as supporters of former Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi raised slogans at party events, disrupting programmes led by state chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring and AICC general secretary Bhupesh Baghel. Warring downplayed the slogans, blaming the Aam Aadmi Party and media for exaggeration, while Channi's camp seeks greater recognition. Posters targeting Warring and Baghel surfaced, reflecting internal divisions ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections. Party leaders called for unity amid concerns over defections and disruptions.
