Punjab Cong rift widens, rebels move high command against party chief
The New Indian Express Bengaluru
|April 06, 2025
WITH two years left for the Assembly elections, dissent is brewing within the Punjab Congress, as several senior leaders have raised concerns over the working style of state unit president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring and LoP Partap Singh Bajwa.
Sources said senior leaders, including state working president Bharat Bhushan Ashu, met Punjab affairs in-charge and former Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel in Delhi to air their grievances. The meeting, the sources said, was triggered by a show-cause notice issued to former Faridkot MLA and state party vice-president Khushaldeep Dhillon for allegedly breaching party discipline during a TV interview.
