The Congress high command is all set to announce the Punjab Congress district presidents list, balancing caste equations and internal rivalries. Party leaders from the Amarinder Raja Warring and Charanjit Singh Channi camps have finally agreed on the 29 names. The list, already discussed with Rahul Gandhi and KC Venugopal, is expected anytime.
Sources confirmed that the announcement delay was not linked to the Tarn Taran by-election. Instead, it was due to internal discussions on candidate selection across districts like Ropar, Ferozepur, Muktsar, and Gurdaspur. The Punjab Congress district presidents list will likely be released along with those of Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, and Telangana.
A senior leader said the list aims to balance caste representation while satisfying both factions. Observers’ reports were reviewed to choose strong, inclusive candidates. Despite earlier suggestions to postpone the release until after the November 11 Tarn Taran bypoll, the leadership decided not to split the list. Consensus has been achieved, signalling renewed unity in the Punjab Congress.
