The stir in the Congress party has intensified before the Punjab Assembly elections to be held in the year 2027. State Congress President Amarinder Raja Vading has clearly said that this time new faces will be given tickets on 80 out of 117 seats. This means that the tickets of many leaders who have contested the elections in 2022 may be cut. Raja Wadding said that he will put this proposal before Rahul Gandhi and the young leaders contesting elections for the first time on these seats will get a chance.

New faces and ticket distribution

According to Amarinder Raja Wadding, the Congress Party wants to bring forward new energy and youth leadership in this election. He told that the leaders who represented the party in the last elections will not be given priority this time. This strategy is clearly aimed at promoting young leaders. This decision has increased the atmosphere of turmoil and discussions within the party.

Only Rahul Gandhi and Kharge will decide the post of CM.

Apart from this, Amarinder Raja Wadding also commented clearly on the Chief Ministerial candidate. He said that a self-proclaimed person can never become the Chief Minister. This right will be decided only by Rahul Gandhi and Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge. Wadding wrote that any leader who stakes claim by declaring himself the Chief Minister may face the displeasure of the party and will never be able to become the Chief Minister.

Statement and reaction on Charanjit Singh Channi

After this statement of Amarinder Raja Vading, former Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi was targeted. Channi’s brother Dr. Manohar Singh said that Raja Waring is right and presenting himself as the Chief Minister on social media is wrong. He also said that Channi did not do anything like this, but at present Channi is the only candidate in the race for the post of Chief Minister. Ultimately, only the MLAs will decide who will become the Chief Minister.

Mallikarjun kharge on shashi tharoor: Party President Mallikarjun Kharge has reacted to the controversy over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s praise by senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor. He lashed out at Tharoor and said, “The country is first for us, but for some people, Modi is the first.” This is being considered as the most sharp message from the Congress leadership to Tharoor.

In the past, many partners of the party have tightened the statements of Pahalgam attack and ‘Operation Sindoor’ about Tharoor’s statements. But Kharge’s comment is directly considered criticizing Tharoor’s attitude.

Kharge’s response to Tharoor’s article
This response of Kharge has come up with the article that Shashi Tharoor recently wrote in ‘The Hindu’ newspaper. In this article, he appreciated India’s foreign policy after ‘Operation Sindoor’ and wrote that Prime Minister Modi’s energy, activism and desire for dialogue remains India’s “major property” on the global stage and it should get more support.

This remark of Tharoor passed out to many Congress leaders, especially at a time when the opposition is continuously questioning the government’s foreign policy and ways to deal with terrorist attacks. Tharoor’s comments are considered to be different from the party’s strategy, which has deepened the differences between the Congress leadership and the former diplomat.

Tharoor gave clarification
During a program in Moscow, Shashi Tharoor clarified that his article was not “effort” to join BJP, but it was a statement of India’s unity, national interest and standing in support of the country.

The Congress distanced himself from this comment from Tharoor. Party spokesperson Supriya Srinet told the media, “This may be his personal opinion, but it is not the Congress party’s opinion. It is not the Congress’s approach because we have spoken with facts and evidence.”

Khage took a pinch
Now Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has also taken a dig at this matter. He said, “Tharoor saheb gets English very good. I cannot read English properly. His language is very good, so we have made him a member of the Congress Working Committee.” Kharge also said that after the Pahalgam attack, in which 26 innocent people lost their lives, the entire opposition had said to stand with the army. “We said that the country comes first, the party later. But some people believe that ‘Modi first, the country later’. What can we do now?”
