Raja Warring, the head of Punjab Congress, stated that the final decision regarding the alliance between AAP and Congress in Punjab will be taken by the party leaders, Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi. He emphasized that the people of Punjab and Congress workers will be informed about the decision when the high command discusses this matter with Punjab Congress, addressing their sentiments and opinions. Warring made these remarks in Patiala and also mentioned a meeting with Sukhpal Khaira in jail.
Additionally, the article highlights Warring’s comments on the internal conflicts within the party involving Navjot Singh Sidhu and Pratap Singh Bajwa. He expressed that such issues are common within families and that he has briefed Kharge about these matters. Warring affirmed that the Punjab Congress will contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections unitedly.
Regarding Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa rejoining the Akali Dal, Warring stated that it won’t affect Congress and indicated that Dhindsa might lay down conditions, such as Sukhbir Singh Badal stepping down as the Akali Dal chief, which might not necessarily happen.
Regarding Sukhbir Singh Badal’s apology, Warring mentioned that apologies are for mistakes, not for crimes. He criticized the drama of offering apologies after 8-9 years and cited instances like Harsimrat Kaur Badal initially supporting the farm laws but later resigning amid the growing anger among farmers towards the Akali Dal.
