Raja Warring Steps Down as Punjab Congress Chief Amid Leadership Tensions

Raja Warring formally stepped down as Punjab Congress chief on Friday, several months before the state Assembly elections. Warring suggested that fellow Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel may have wanted him removed, noting they had spoken only briefly. "I spoke for 15 minutes and haven't met him since," Warring said, indicating strained relations within the party leadership.

The resignation comes at a critical time as Punjab Congress prepares for upcoming state elections. Warring's departure signals internal discord within the party's state unit ahead of a crucial electoral battle.
