Congress Mobilizes Punjab Cadres for 2027 State Polls

Baghel spent five days touring the state to solidify organizational ranks and foster unity among grassroots workers. He explicitly dismissed the current political relevance of the Shiromani Akali Dal and the BJP, framing the upcoming contest as a direct opportunity for Congress to reclaim its foothold. To sharpen the party's reach, he signaled that District Congress Committee presidents will take on expanded responsibilities to deepen public engagement.

The organizational push included key personnel changes aimed at energizing the party’s base. Sukhwinder Singh Danny and Raj Kumar Verka were formally inducted as Working Presidents, while Shubham Devgan was appointed to lead the Punjab Youth Congress. These strategic appointments underscore the party's intent to secure a decisive mandate in the next election cycle.
