The Congress party is facing an organizational and leadership crisis ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections. After replacing Bhupesh Baghel with Sachin Pilot, the Charanjit Channi faction is now demanding the removal of state president Raja Warring. The party faces the challenge of balancing the Jat, Sikh, and Dalit leadership. In 2022, Congress won only 18 seats, while in 2024, it won seven Lok Sabha seats.
