Punjab Congress Faces Internal Dissent and Leadership Challenges Ahead of 2027 Polls

Punjab Congress Faces Internal Dissent and Leadership Challenges Ahead of 2027 PollsPreviousNext

Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring faces internal dissent ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections, with leaders like Barinder Singh Dhillon openly criticizing him on social media. The Rupnagar Congress unit has sought disciplinary action against Dhillon for remarks seen as damaging to the party. Meanwhile, a shift in power dynamics favors Doaba leaders such as Charanjit Singh Channi, Rana Gurjeet Singh, and Pargat Singh, who have expressed opposition to Warring's leadership and policies, reflecting ongoing factional tensions within the state unit.
