Times of India · politics

Former Olympian and MLA Pargat Singh has been appointed the new president of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC). This change comes after Amarinder Singh Raja Warring submitted his resignation to former Congress president Rahul Gandhi. Warring had led the state Congress for over four years and indicated that the AICC in-charge may have decided it was time for him to step down. The leadership transition occurs ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly polls and amid ongoing factional differences within the state unit.
