The Congress party in Punjab has issued a stern warning to potential internal dissenters, specifically targeting the "sleeper cells" within its own ranks. With tensions rising between Punjab state president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring and former chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi, the party aims to maintain unity. AICC general secretary Bhupesh Baghel emphasized the importance of a strong organisation at the booth level, warning against the presence of these alleged sleeper cells.
Warring, in turn, vowed that no party ticket would be given to those operating as part of these internal threats. Channi's camp has openly challenged the leadership, with supporters displaying posters and engaging in confrontations at party events. Former state Congress chief Sunil Jakhar, now a BJP member, has also faced criticism for allegedly betraying the party during the 2022 assembly elections.
Despite these challenges, Warring maintains that he will not relinquish his position, vowing to strengthen the party's organisation.
