Pargat Singh Appointed Punjab Congress Chief as Warring Steps Down, Points to Pilot’s Role in Exit
The party said the appointment takes effect immediately as it prepares for the 2027 Assembly elections after losing the 2022 contest to Aam Aadmi Party.
- On Friday, the Congress party appointed Jalandhar Cantonment MLA and former Indian hockey captain Pargat Singh as president of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee, replacing Amarinder Singh Raja Warring.
- Warring resigned on Friday following months of factional tensions within the state unit, submitting his resignation to Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi earlier that day.
- While lacking specific proof, Warring suggested AICC General Secretary Sachin Pilot, appointed Punjab in-charge last month, may have favored his removal from the state presidency.
- The 62-year-old Singh previously served as Cabinet minister during Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi's tenure and has represented Jalandhar Cantonment since 2012.
- Singh must now manage competing state factions and coordinate with leadership to prepare the Congress for the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections against the ruling Aam Aadmi Party.
