Pargat Singh Takes Reins of Punjab Congress

The leadership transition follows days of speculation regarding a reshuffle within the party’s state hierarchy. An official notification from AICC General Secretary KC Venugopal confirmed the change, while noting that the party retains the current working presidents and committee chairpersons to maintain continuity.

Warring, who held the position since 2022, signaled his departure by offering prayers at Gurudwara Bangla Sahib. Reflecting on his tenure, he expressed satisfaction with his service and emphasized his loyalty to the party's central leadership. During his final days in the role, Warring suggested that state in-charge Sachin Pilot likely orchestrated the strategic shift, though he noted that he had already discussed his concerns and insights directly with Rahul Gandhi. Despite the change, Warring maintained that he accepted the party's decision with grace, focusing on his long-standing commitment to the organization.
