A Congress rally in Khanna showcased internal tensions within the party as senior leader and Gurdaspur MP Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa openly opposed Punjab chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring’s position on granting multiple election tickets to family members. This public disagreement reflects ongoing disputes regarding candidate selection and party strategy in the lead-up to upcoming elections.
Former Punjab chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi and Randhawa shared the stage at Issru near Khanna, while Warring wasn’t present, adding to the buzz around the party’s growing factional divide.

However, the biggest political message at the rally came from Randhawa, whose remarks were widely seen as a direct response to Warring’s statement that the Congress would not give two tickets to members of the same family.
Addressing the gathering, Channi said the Congress was preparing for the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections to help Rahul Gandhi form the next government at the Centre. We will lay the foundation for a Rahul Gandhi-led government at the Centre by winning Punjab in 2027,” Channi said.
