Congress appears to have selected Amarinder Singh Raja Warring over Charanjit Singh Channi within Punjab’s Congress leadership, according to an analysis shared by NDTV. The piece focuses on internal party dynamics and says party affairs in-charge Bhupesh Baghel’s efforts failed to bring together two competing factions led by Channi and Warring during his nine-day visit to Punjab.
The analysis attributes the decision to the inability to reconcile the rival groups, describing how Baghel’s outreach did not overcome factional differences. While the report does not indicate a single public dispute or event driving the choice, it frames the selection as the outcome of unresolved internal coordination. It also highlights that the period of Baghel’s travel and engagement—nine days—was intended to consolidate support but did not achieve unity between the Channi and Warring camps.
