Less than a year before the Punjab Assembly election, Congress leader Charanjit Singh Channi finds himself in a difficult position after locking horns with the party leadership over the recent organisation overhaul. With the party leadership clearly in no mood to relent, Mr. Channi’s options seem to have narrowed to two alternatives — accept a diminished role within the party or seek a political future elsewhere — neither of which may be favourable for him.

Former CM Charanjit Singh Channi's visit to suspended MLA Madan Lal Jalalpur highlights growing tensions with state president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring.

Factionalism within Punjab Congress escalates as pro-Channi slogans disrupt events, challenging party unity ahead of the 2027 elections.
