Possible Warring Replacement Sparks District-Level Tensions in Punjab Congress

Punjab Congress may replace its state leader, Raja Warring.

This possibility has made some district leaders speak out in his support.

The Mohali leader liked Warring’s plan to promote younger people.

However, he said the district would follow any decision by the party leadership.

The Amritsar leader also publicly praised Warring and said he would support him.

The Rupnagar leader met Warring for nearly two hours.

District presidents help organise workers and keep the party active locally.

Changing the state leader could also change the party’s district-level team.
