bhupesh baghel, the new in-charge of punjab congress, held a meeting with senior leaders of the state on march 13 and gave strict instructions regarding organization and discipline. According to sources, Baghel urged the leaders to stop making statements on the internal matters of the party and strengthen the organization up to the booth level. All the senior leaders of punjab congress were present in this meeting held at the congress headquarters in Delhi, but former state president Navjot Singh Sidhu did not attend. When bhupesh baghel was asked about this, he said, "Everyone was aware of the meeting. Sidhu did not come, but many others could not come either. There is nothing different or new in this."
Question on Sidhu's political future
There is suspense about Sidhu's political future. Since the assembly elections, he has distanced himself from congress activities and has recently returned to cricket commentary. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether he will contest the upcoming elections or not. Amid speculations of changing the state president in punjab, it was made clear in this congress meeting that no major change is going to happen at the moment. The party leadership is focused on building the organization, and this is also the priority of Bhupesh Baghel. congress will finalize its team in view of the 2027 assembly elections.
Baghel's taunt on 'AAP' in Punjab
After the meeting, bhupesh baghel said that the party needs to be strengthened at the micro level. Taking a dig at the bhagwant mann government, he said, "There is a stampede in the aam aadmi party in punjab and their boat is about to sink." Bhupesh Baghel's first litmus test will be in the by-election to an assembly seat in Ludhiana, although the election dates have not been announced yet. There are still two years left in the real political battle of punjab, but the comeback is very important for the Congress. On the other hand, the aam aadmi party is facing the challenge of saving its existence. If the bjp and the Akali Dal come together, then the triangular contest in punjab politics can be interesting.
