# Congress infighting flares as another leader targets Warring 2026-08-19T22:17:41+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Former Punjab Youth Congress president Brinder Singh Dhillon has launched a sharp social media attack on Punjab Congress chief Raja Warring, intensifying the internal discord within the state unit. Dhillon, who also served as Rupnagar District Congress Committee president, posted a series of critical messages targeting Warring's leadership. The attack comes amid growing unease in the Punjab Congress, with several leaders openly questioning the party's direction and Warring's style of functioning. Dhillon's posts have added to the spotlight on Warring, who has been struggling to contain factionalism ahead of upcoming electoral challenges. The Congress leadership has so far not issued any formal response to the fresh salvo from Dhillon, who is seen as a prominent face among young party workers in the state. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The attack on Raja Warring is not an isolated outburst. It follows a pattern of public dissent that has plagued the Punjab Congress since the 2022 assembly defeat. Warring, appointed to rebuild the party, now faces the same internal resistance that brought down his predecessors. The state unit's ability to hold together will be tested not by policy but by the party high command's willingness to discipline or accommodate the warring factions. The next signal to watch is whether the AICC issues a show-cause notice to Dhillon or lets the rebellion fester. ## Coverage - ndtv.com Leads with the attack as a fact, adds context of growing unease, no framing favouring either side.
