Charanjit Singh Channi Skips Congress Working Committee Meeting Citing Exam Preparations
Former Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi skipped the Congress Working Committee meeting in Delhi, citing preparations for his master's examination at Panjab University. His absence has sparked speculation amid ongoing leadership tensions within the Punjab Congress, particularly between Channi's supporters and those of state president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring. Senior leaders including Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa and Vijay Inder Singla attended the meeting. Party sources emphasize Channi's academic commitments, while internal divisions remain unresolved ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections.
