Punjab Congress crisis: Dissident leaders camp in Delhi as Baghel holds meetings to steady ship
Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel is working to resolve internal conflicts within the Punjab unit following a recent leadership revamp. Disgruntled leaders, including Charanjit Singh Channi, are reportedly expressing dissatisfaction with the new party structure ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections.
Why it matters
Internal party instability in Punjab could significantly impact the Congress party's electoral prospects in the upcoming state assembly elections.
