Punjab Congress Seeks Unity with Rahul Gandhi-Led Bus Tour Amid Factionalism

Factionalism is at its peak in the Punjab Congress. President Amarinder Singh Raja Warring and former CM Charanjit Singh Channi are at loggerheads. The Channi group is adamant on the demand for Raja Warring's removal. While Bhupesh Baghel, the Punjab in-charge after meeting with the high command on August 20, has given a blow to the Channi camp with this statement of Baghel. At the same time, Raja Warring and Bhupesh Baghel have invited Rahul Gandhi to come to Punjab and take a bus tour. The party is trying to bring all the Congress leaders of Punjab together in this bus tour to show that the factionalism in the party is over and all the leaders are together. The Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee is waiting for Rahul Gandhi's consent on this. Only after this, the roadmap of the bus tour will be ready. According to the information, the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee is asking Rahul Gandhi for 4 to 5 days time. While Rahul Gandhi's team is not agreeing to such a long tour, Bhupesh Baghel, the Punjab in-charge, has said that Rahul Gandhi's proposed bus tour will start from Amritsar.
