The Congress Party in India is considering appointing a Hindu Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) chief to address the ongoing crisis in Punjab, according to dissident sources. Dissidents, including senior leaders like Charanjit Channi and Sukhjinder Randhawa, have been pushing for a replacement of state chief Amarinder Raja Warring since the All India Congress Committee (AICC) announced various election-related panels while retaining Warring in the position for two months.
The proposed change aims to bring balance to the organization's setup, as both the state chief and the leader of opposition are Jatt Sikhs. The party is evaluating its options and may need to change the leadership position, either the Punjab chief, the AICC in-charge, or both. A party manager dismissed the idea of Rahul Gandhi initiating the state campaign with a bus journey, stating that the campaign will only begin once the organizational squabbles are resolved.
The party's recent focus on creating a narrative for voters through the bus journey suggests they believe the current tensions must be addressed before engaging in campaigning.
