The Story in Brief
A section of Punjab Congress workers raised slogans for former chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi at a party programme in Khanna on Saturday, exposing the factional tensions that continue to plague the state unit. The sloganeering took place on the concluding day of Punjab Congress in-charge Bhupesh Baghel's nine-day 'Har Booth Congress Mazboot' tour. Party workers were asked to stop and later walked out of the meeting.
The Indian Opinion
Punjab Congress keeps trying to dress up its internal wars as organisational vigour, but the Khanna sloganeering is just the latest in a string of similar protests from Bathinda to Ludhiana, as the Hindustan Times reports. The high command's July 1 compromise, keeping Amarinder Singh Raja Warring as state president while making Channi campaign committee chief, has clearly not settled the leadership question. Neither side looks ready to blink before 2027. The test now is whether Baghel's promised joint platform of all senior leaders actually materialises, or stays a polite fiction.
