The Congress party replaces Bhupesh Baghel with Sachin Pilot as its in-charge for Punjab, as part of an organisational reshuffle that comes into effect immediately, according to multiple reports.
The outlets describe the change as a leadership and coordination update within the party’s state unit. The Hindu frames it as part of the party’s latest organisational restructuring, while Times of India reports the appointment in the role of Punjab general secretary/in-charge and links the timing to internal factional tensions. Both accounts, however, indicate that Baghel is removed from the Punjab assignment and Pilot takes over.
The reports do not provide further details in the supplied excerpts about specific reasons for the change beyond the organisational reshuffle and, in one account, the presence of factional discord. No additional information is given on any new responsibilities beyond Pilot’s new role overseeing the party’s Punjab operations.
