A tussle over leadership within the Congress party appears to be intensifying ahead of next year’s assembly elections in Punjab. Political posters have now appeared in Moga bearing the slogan, “Remove Raja-Baghel, Save Punjab Congress.” Another poster reads, “Bring Channi, Save Punjab.”
The emergence of these posters has sparked speculation regarding the motives behind them and the identity of those who put them up. However, it remains unclear which individual or organization is responsible; no political party or leader has officially claimed credit for them.
The posters have also become a topic of heated discussion on social media. In political circles, they are being viewed in the context of upcoming political developments and potential changes. The identity of the person behind these posters and the objective of putting them up remain unclear.
Charanjit Channi Showing Signs of Defiance
It is worth noting that former Chief Minister and Jalandhar MP Charanjit Channi is displaying a rebellious attitude ahead of the Punjab elections. He now appears to be at odds not only with state party chief Amrinder Raja Warring but also directly with the party high command. He has already boycotted AICC in-charge Bhupesh Baghel, who was sent by the high command.
Slogans Raised in Support of Channi at Warring-Led Events
Slogans in support of Channi are being raised at events led by Warring. Despite all this, the high command remains unconcerned about Channi. Baghel has stated unequivocally that the state president will not be replaced and that the election will be fought under collective leadership, with Rahul Gandhi as the face of the campaign.
