Has the Administration shown some great seriousness to tide over this crisis situation?
With reports claiming 92+ Congress leaders are backing Charanjit Singh Channi, while Raja Warring appears increasingly isolated, Channi’s camp is making a strong show of strength ahead of 2027. This comes despite his defeat from both seats he contested in the 2022 Assembly elections as Chief Minister. With Rahul Gandhi now expected to hear Punjab’s rival camps, is Channi building a genuine comeback or simply using Congress’s internal crisis to reclaim the spotlight ? Is Channi’s growing camp a sign of real political strength, or just a bigger power play for 2027 ?
92+ कांग्रेस नेताओं के चरणजीत सिंह चन्नी के साथ होने के दावों के बीच, राजा वड़िंग 2027 से पहले बढ़ते दबाव में नजर आ रहे हैं। चन्नी का खेमा अपनी ताकत दिखा रहा है, जबकि 2022 में मुख्यमंत्री रहते हुए चन्नी दोनों सीटों से हार गए थे। अब राहुल गांधी के सामने पंजाब के अलग-अलग गुटों की बात रखे जाने की उम्मीद है। ऐसे में सवाल है कि क्या चन्नी सच में वापसी कर रहे हैं या कांग्रेस की अंदरूनी कलह का फायदा उठाकर फिर से सुर्खियों में आ रहे हैं ? क्या चन्नी का बढ़ता खेमा असली राजनीतिक ताकत है या 2027 के लिए सत्ता की बड़ी चाल ?
Charanjit Singh Channi lost both Chamkaur Sahib and Bhadaur in the 2022 Assembly elections while serving as Punjab’s Chief Minister. Yet today, his camp is openly pushing for a bigger role and challenging the party’s existing leadership ahead of 2027. Has Channi’s political comeback gone from “defeat” to “dreaming of the crown” a little too quickly ? What explains Channi’s confidence despite his 2022 report card ?
