Punjab Congress Faces Infighting Over Channi Supporters and Slogans
In Punjab, the Indian National Congress party is having a fight inside.
Some people who liked the former chief minister, Charanjit Singh Channi, shouted slogans at party meetings in Barnala, Patiala and Sangrur.
They want the party to choose Channi as the next chief minister.
The party leaders, Bhupesh Baghel and Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, want to keep the party together and keep Warring as the state leader.
A former minister, Razia Sultana, said the party should kick out people who cause trouble.
Baghel said the party will win the next elections in 2027 and will beat the AAP and BJP.
The fight shows how hard it is for a big party to stay united.
The leaders are trying to stop the shouting and keep the party strong.
The party will decide who will lead after the elections.
The whole thing is happening in Punjab, India.
Pro‑Channi slogans disrupted Congress meetings in Barnala, Patiala and Sangrur on Aug 2, 2024.
Congress leaders Bhupesh Baghel and Amrinder Singh Raja Warring are trying to keep the party united while retaining Warring as state unit chief.
Channi’s supporters demand Warring’s removal, citing internal divisions and calling for a new state chief.
Former minister Razia Sultana urged the party to expel disruptive members and warned of damage if no action is taken.
Baghel said Congress will win the 2027 Punjab elections and will defeat the AAP and BJP governments.
