A Congress rally in Khanna turned into a display of the party’s infighting after senior leader and Gurdaspur MP Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa appeared to directly counter Punjab chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring’s stance on giving multiple election tickets to members of the same family.
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.
