Why did the Congress decide to remove Amarinder Singh Raja Warring?
AI-estimated: this article's coverage tilts toward no party.
The Congress leadership told the party’s state unit chief, Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, to stand down after feedback gathered by newly elected AICC general secretary in-charge Sachin Pilot over the past three weeks, people familiar with the matter said.
Pilot, who replaced Bhupesh Baghel on September 5, held a series of discussions with state leaders and MPs. A majority of the party’s seven Lok Sabha MPs from Punjab and several senior state leaders sought a change of guard, prompting the party leadership to begin an exercise to find a new state chief who could maintain social and regional equations and work alongside Charanjit Singh Channi, the only Dalit chief minister of Punjab till date.
