Punjab Congress internal rift

Entities: Punjab Congress · Harpal Singh Cheema · Aam Aadmi Party · Amrinder Singh Raja Warring · Bhagwant Mann

Overview

In early July, the Punjab Congress chief publicly downplayed an internal rift, suggesting the party remained united ahead of the upcoming state elections. By early August, the dispute had become more visible: Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema openly criticised the party’s infighting, warned that voters would reject a disorganized Congress, and highlighted a growing factional clash over the leadership of state party president Amrinder Singh Raja Warring. The criticism coincided with a visit from AICC in‑charge Bhupesh Baghel, underscoring the intensifying internal tensions as the 2027 assembly polls approach.
