This means that 65% of the work is expected to be completed between December and March. Is this possible?
The Congress describes the Punjab crisis as an organisational disagreement, but the battle between Charanjit Singh Channi and Amarinder Singh Raja Warring appears to run much deeper. Behind the meetings, reshuffles and public displays of unity lies a larger struggle over political influence, organisational control and the race to become the party's face for the 2027 Assembly elections. If the Congress insists this is not about personal ambition, then what is really fueling the Channi–Warring tussle ?
कांग्रेस पंजाब के मौजूदा संकट को एक संगठनात्मक मतभेद बताती है, लेकिन चरणजीत सिंह चन्नी और अमरिंदर सिंह राजा वड़िंग के बीच का टकराव इससे कहीं अधिक गहरा दिखाई देता है। बैठकों, संगठनात्मक फेरबदल और एकजुटता के सार्वजनिक प्रदर्शनों के पीछे राजनीतिक प्रभाव, संगठन पर नियंत्रण और 2027 विधानसभा चुनावों के लिए पार्टी का चेहरा बनने की होड़ साफ़ दिखाई देती है। यदि कांग्रेस का दावा है कि यह व्यक्तिगत महत्वाकांक्षा का मामला नहीं है, तो आखिर चन्नी–वड़िंग टकराव की असली वजह क्या है ?
Months before the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections, the Congress is still struggling to settle questions of leadership that many believe should have been resolved long ago. Bhupesh Baghel's consultations have now ended, the matter has once again been referred to the high command, and leaders are waiting for Rahul Gandhi's return before any final decision is taken. If the Congress had identified and empowered a clear Chief Ministerial face much earlier, could much of the current infighting and uncertainty have been avoided ? Does the continuing leadership deadlock reflect not just internal rivalry, but a failure of long-term political planning by a national party preparing for one of its most important electoral battles ?
