Pro-Channi slogans raised in presence of Baghel, Warring at Cong event in Patiala

Business To Business, Patiala, 01th August, 2026:   Infighting within the Punjab Congress intensified on Saturday after supporters of former Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi disrupted a party programme in Patiala by raising slogans in his favour during the address of Punjab Congress president Amrinder Singh Raja Warring.
The incident occurred in the presence of AICC general secretary in charge of Punjab Bhupesh Baghel, highlighting the continuing leadership tussle within the state unit ahead of the Assembly elections due early next year.
Addressing the gathering, Baghel asserted that the Congress high command would decide the party's chief ministerial candidate and the composition of the Council of Ministers after the Punjab Assembly elections.
As factional tensions escalated, Baghel, who had dismissed reports of factionalism in the Punjab Congress a day earlier, issued a stern warning against indiscipline.
He said that anyone found indulging in indiscipline would face action and could be expelled from the party, signalling the leadership's intent to curb internal dissent as the party prepares for the upcoming state polls.
