Was foreign influence only a "deep state" threat before 2014 but "development finance" after 2014?
Pargat Singh’s first major public visit to Amritsar, alongside Sachin Pilot, brought several rival leaders together under one roof. The visit was meant to signal a fresh start for a party long troubled by factional fights ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections. Yet the absence of some prominent leaders, including MPs attending protests in Delhi, showed that the picture of unity remains incomplete. With Pargat Singh promising collective leadership, the real question is whether Congress has finally moved beyond its internal power struggles or is simply putting a united face on old rivalries ?
परगट सिंह ने सचिन पायलट के साथ अमृतसर का अपना पहला बड़ा सार्वजनिक दौरा किया, जिसमें पंजाब कांग्रेस के कई विरोधी गुटों के नेता एक मंच पर नजर आए। इस दौरे का मकसद 2027 के विधानसभा चुनावों से पहले लंबे समय से गुटबाजी से जूझ रही पार्टी में नई शुरुआत का संदेश देना था। हालांकि, दिल्ली में विरोध प्रदर्शनों में शामिल सांसदों समेत कुछ प्रमुख नेताओं की गैरमौजूदगी ने दिखाया कि एकजुटता की तस्वीर अभी अधूरी है। परगट सिंह के सामूहिक नेतृत्व के वादे के बीच असली सवाल यह है कि क्या कांग्रेस ने आखिरकार अपने अंदरूनी सत्ता संघर्ष को पीछे छोड़ दिया है या पुराने मतभेदों पर एकता का नया मुखौटा लगा रही है ?
Pargat Singh’s political journey has crossed the Shiromani Akali Dal, a political group with Navjot Singh Sidhu, and the Congress, while his role has changed from MLA to minister and then Punjab Congress Chief. After winning Jalandhar Cantonment for the Shiromani Akali Dal in 2012, he was suspended by the party in 2016 after raising questions about its functioning. He later moved to Congress with Sidhu, served in the Channi cabinet and survived the 2022 Aam Aadmi Party sweep as one of only 18 Congress MLAs elected in Punjab. Now, with Congress preparing for 2027, does Pargat Singh’s ability to remain politically relevant through repeated shifts show a long-term strategy that could shape the party’s next phase ?
