Congress faces internal strife over PPCC leadership in Punjab

With less than a year to the 2027 Punjab Assembly election, Congress faces internal strife as supporters of former Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi demand he replace Amrinder Singh Raja Warring as president of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC). The discord was sparked by an All India Congress Committee organisational overhaul on July 1, where Mr. Warring retained his position while Mr. Channi became chairman of the State election campaign committee. This move aimed to balance competing factions but instead intensified conflict.
