Warring's public challenge to Channi steals spotlight from Baghel's Punjab tour
Warring turned a Bathinda meeting into a public test of Channi’s support as Congress leaders face mounting factional infighting ahead of the 2027 election.
On Monday, Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring publicly challenged former chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi during a Bathinda meeting, forcing a phone call to Channi on speakerphone after supporters interrupted proceedings.
General secretary Bhupesh Baghel visited Bathinda to mobilize the grassroots network for the 2027 Assembly election, though the visit was marred by ongoing factional battles between party leaders.
Absent from organizational events, Charanjit Singh Channi has openly questioned leadership appointments and stood by expelled members, fueling questions about the party's internal cohesion.
Quoting Rahul Gandhi, Bhupesh Baghel warned workers against "traitors within the party" as posters demanding his removal appeared in Muktsar and Bathinda.
The Congress struggles to project unity against the Aam Aadmi Party, as repeated public confrontations between senior leaders threaten to derail the campaign before momentum builds for the 2027 polls.
