In the last five years, the largest loss in history was recorded in the stock market in October 2024 to the tune of 37 lakh crore as per media reports. Before this, in March 2020, small investors lost around 33 lakh crore during the Corona period.
After nearly three months of public friction, Charanjit Singh Channi and Amrinder Singh Raja Warring were seen sharing a stage and shaking hands during Congress’s September 15 protest. The gesture suggests an effort to put differences aside but with 2027 approaching, the bigger challenge may be keeping every faction together until polling day. With disputes over leadership, organisational control and ticket distribution, could uncertainty inside the party create space for a last minute defection that changes Congress’s electoral calculations ?
करीब तीन महीने की सार्वजनिक खींचतान के बाद, 15 सितंबर के कांग्रेस प्रदर्शन में चरणजीत सिंह चन्नी और अमरिंदर सिंह राजा वड़िंग एक मंच पर साथ दिखे और दोनों ने हाथ भी मिलाया। यह तस्वीर पार्टी के भीतर मतभेद कम करने की कोशिश का संकेत देती है। लेकिन 2027 करीब है और सबसे बड़ी चुनौती चुनाव तक सभी गुटों को साथ रखना हो सकती है। नेतृत्व, संगठन और टिकट बंटवारे को लेकर मतभेदों के बीच क्या पार्टी के अंदर की अनिश्चितता आखिरी समय में किसी बड़े नेता के पाला बदलने की गुंजाइश बढ़ा सकती है और कांग्रेस की चुनावी रणनीति को प्रभावित कर सकती है ?
With Sachin Pilot being welcomed by rival Punjab Congress factions and Channi, Warring and Randhawa sharing the stage at the anti-drug protest, Congress appears to be trying to shift the narrative from internal divisions to a coordinated challenge against AAP. Pilot’s decision to favour collective leadership rather than project an immediate CM face could also help prevent another leadership contest within the party. But can this new unity actually translate into votes or is Congress simply putting its internal differences aside temporarily because the 2027 election is approaching ?
