Congress Plans Punjab Leadership Reshuffle to Balance Social Representation Ahead of 2027 PollsPreviousNext

The Congress high command is planning a significant organisational reshuffle in Punjab ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections, aiming to balance social representation and leadership experience. Key contenders for the state Congress chief post include Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, Charanjit Singh Channi, and Vijay Inder Singla. The restructuring seeks to address Punjab's diverse electorate by representing Dalits, Jat Sikhs, and urban Hindus, while assigning election-related responsibilities to senior leaders to reduce factionalism.
