Chandigarh, July 1 (SocialNews.XYZ) Ahead of the Assembly elections in Punjab slated likely in early 2027, the Congress on Wednesday clarified that there would be no change of state party leadership and reposed faith in the party's senior leadership.
The party high command retained young and energetic Member of Parliament (MP), Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, as the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) President.
A party statement said Partap Singh Bajwa would continue as Leader of Opposition.
Former Chief Minister and MP, Charanjit Singh Channi, would be the election campaign committee chairperson, while another MP, Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, would be chairman of the core committee.
Amar Singh, also an MP, will be the chairperson of the manifesto committee.
Former state minister and prominent Hindu face Vijay Inder Singla, who was among frontrunners to replace Raja Warring, has been named chairman of the election management and coordination committee, which will oversee the party's organisational and electoral preparations, while senior leader Sukhjinder Randhawa has been entrusted with heading the Core Committee.
The party appointed Sukhwinder Danny, Raj Kumar Verka and Sangat Gilzian as working presidents of the Punjab Congress.
The campaign committee headed by Channi will have Sukhpal Khaira, Rana Gurjeet Singh and Dharamvira Gandhi as co-chairpersons.
The election management and coordination committee led by Singla will be assisted by O.P. Soni, Razia Sultana, Kuljit Nagra, Angad Saini and Bharat Bhushan Ashu as co-chairpersons.
Similarly, Gurjeet Aujla, Pargat Singh, Hardial Kamboj and Sukhbinder Sarkaria have been appointed co-chairpersons of the manifesto committee headed by Amar Singh.
Last month, several rounds of meetings were held at the AICC headquarters in New Delhi to deliberate on the need to change the party's leadership.
The meetings were chaired by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and attended by Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, general secretary K.C. Venugopal and general secretary and Punjab in-charge Bhupesh Baghel.
