Sachin Pilot Takes Punjab Congress Assignment Before 2027 Election

The Congress party in Punjab has often had disagreements between its leaders.

Before the 2022 election, these disagreements became very public and hurt the party’s image.

Congress won 77 seats in 2017 but only 18 seats in 2022.

Now the party has chosen Sachin Pilot to help its Punjab leaders work together before the 2027 election.

Pilot is replacing Bhupesh Baghel, who has been moved to Assam.

Pilot has experience with political fights because he once had a major disagreement with Ashok Gehlot in Rajasthan.

That experience may help him understand Punjab’s rival groups, although it also shows that he knows how difficult such disputes can be.

His first task is to rebuild trust and stop arguments from damaging the organisation.

If Congress becomes stronger and more united, Pilot may be considered successful even if the party does not win.
