Punjab Congress retains Amarinder Singh Raja Warring as state chief

Congress in‑charge Bhupesh Baghel met senior party leaders in Delhi and ordered that there be no change to the Punjab Congress leadership, confirming Amarinder Singh Raja Warring as state president. The decision was presented as a move to curb internal factionalism and focus on upcoming electoral strategies.

Senior faction leaders from the Channi‑Randhawa camp expressed displeasure, saying they were not consulted and may take their grievances directly to the party's central leadership and Rahul Gandhi. Despite the dissent, Baghal warned that any breach of party discipline would not be tolerated.

The ruling is expected to stabilize the party's organization ahead of the next Punjab assembly election, though observers note that lingering factional tensions could still affect campaign dynamics.
