Baghel arrived to a orchestrated reception led by state unit chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, yet the optics of harmony masks a brewing rebellion. Insiders indicate that key loyalists of Channi plan to bypass Baghel’s scheduled meetings, opting instead to travel to New Delhi to lobby the party high command directly. This maneuver follows the leadership’s recent decision to retain Warring and Partap Singh Bajwa in their respective roles, a move that left several senior figures dissatisfied.
The tension surfaced publicly when Gurdaspur MP Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa posted a photograph of Channi flanked by prominent MLAs, conspicuously omitting Warring and Bajwa from the frame. Despite the caption claiming unity, the gesture served as a pointed signal of a separate power center. Channi, who recently hosted a private strategy session at his Morinda residence, continues to face pressure from supporters advocating for his elevation to lead the state unit. While Warring and Bajwa maintain that the party respects the high command’s authority, the grassroots push for a leadership overhaul reveals a party struggling to reconcile internal ambitions with the need for a cohesive electoral front.
