Punjab Congress Faces Internal Tensions Over Channi's Dalit Representation Remarks

A controversy has emerged within the Punjab Congress after a leaked video showed former Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi discussing Dalit representation in the party. Channi clarified he did not speak against any caste, attributing the backlash to misrepresentation. Punjab Congress President Amarinder Singh Raja Warring and other leaders denied factionalism, emphasizing party unity and rejecting caste-based politics. Several senior leaders supported Channi, urging the party to leverage his influence amid internal tensions ahead of a Congress Working Committee meeting.
