Channi, Randhawa skip Baghel's Punjab Congress meetings
Congress's Punjab in-charge, Bhupesh Baghel, met with several state leaders and district presidents to address internal turmoil within the party. Charanjit Singh Channi and Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, who heads the core committee, were absent from these meetings but are expected to meet Baghel soon. Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, the state president, downplayed the ongoing crisis, stating that Channi would meet Baghel within a day or two. The recent overhaul of the Punjab Congress ahead of the Assembly election in early 2027 has sparked internal disputes and disagreements over leadership positions.
