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.

Vinay Kumar was appointed the new president of Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee by Congress. A day after this appointment, outgoing President Pratibha Singh said on Sunday (23 November) that this appointment was made keeping in mind the regional and caste equations. Pratibha Singh said that Vinay Kumar will connect with the youth. He said that this appointment has been done thoughtfully. We are grateful to the Congress high command for appointing Vinay Kumar, a young face representing Sirmaur district.

What did Congress say on the selection of state president?

According to sources, the Congress also said that the party expressed confidence in a young leader from the reserved category to lead the state with a sizeable population of Dalits. Vinay Kumar was the Deputy Speaker of the Assembly and resigned from his post, which was accepted by Speaker Kuldeep Pathania on Saturday (November 22).

Vinay Kumar, a three-time Dalit MLA from Renukaji assembly seat in Sirmaur district, was born in a farmer Koli family of Renukaji. His father Prem Singh had also been MLA from Renukaji seat four times before his death in 2011.

The appointment was pending for a long time

This appointment was pending for a long time, as there was no State Congress Committee in the hill state after the dissolution of the previous committee headed by Singh on November 6 last year. As the state unit of Congress remained inactive for more than a year, only Pratibha Singh remained as the president of the state unit of the party.

Pratibha Singh said, “I hope that Kumar will take everyone along and will live up to the expectations of Congress workers.” She said, “I will meet Kumar tomorrow and tell him that the party will benefit by taking everyone along.” I also hope that senior leaders will be given their proper place in the organization.

The senior leader said that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had said that young leaders should be given a chance and Kumar is a good choice to connect with the youth. Kumar served as the Chief Parliamentary Secretary from December 2012 to December 2017 and the Chairman of Renuka Development Board from 2013 to 2017. Vinay Kumar was also appointed the working president of Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee in April 2022.
