Punjab Congress Dismisses Rift Buzz, Raja Warring Says Party United Ahead Of Assembly Polls
Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring has rejected speculation of internal divisions within the party, asserting that the state unit remains united despite recent political discussions involving senior leaders. His remarks came after a meeting hosted by former Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi sparked reports of discontent within the Punjab Congress.
Responding to the developments, Warring said there was nothing unusual about Congress leaders gathering at the residence of a senior party member. He maintained that such meetings are part of internal consultations and should not be viewed as signs of factionalism.
The Punjab Congress chief said the party's primary objective is to strengthen its organisation and prepare for the upcoming Assembly elections. He expressed confidence that all senior leaders would work together to bring the Congress back to power in the state.
Addressing reports that some leaders wanted a change in the party's state leadership, Warring dismissed the claims, saying no senior Congress leader had publicly demanded his removal. He added that differences, if any, would be resolved through internal discussions rather than public confrontation.
Warring also clarified that he is not seeking the party's chief ministerial face for the next Assembly elections. According to him, the decision on leadership will be taken by the Congress high command, and he will fully support whichever candidate the party chooses.
Reiterating the importance of organisational discipline, Warring warned that any leader violating party norms would face appropriate action. At the same time, he insisted that the Congress remains focused on expanding its support base and countering political rivals in Punjab.
His statement is being seen as an attempt to project unity within the Punjab Congress at a time when the party is working to consolidate its position ahead of the next electoral battle in the state.
