Internal Friction Strains Punjab Congress Leadership

Congressman Tarsem Singh DC used the session to demand a change in direction, explicitly stating that the party faces certain defeat under Warring. He argued that the electorate remains firmly behind Channi, positioning him as the only viable choice for the next Chief Minister. This sentiment was echoed by Harminder Singh Gill, who emphasized that public backing for the former CM remains a critical asset the central command is failing to leverage.

The All India Congress Committee recently attempted to stabilize the ranks by appointing Channi as the Campaign Committee Chairperson, while assigning roles to Vijay Inder Singla and Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa. Despite these appointments, the vocal dissent suggests the internal power struggle is far from resolved. With the BJP preparing to contest all seats independently, the Congress party finds itself fighting a two-front battle against its own internal divisions and an increasingly aggressive political opponent.
