NEW DELHI: Amid growing questions over his leadership, Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring has launched a new digital outreach programme to reconnect with the party’s grassroots workers.
Titled “Sunday With Warring and Warriors”, the initiative comes a day before Punjab in-charge Bhupesh Baghel is expected to meet the party high command and present his assessment of the situation in the state.
The timing is significant. The Congress has just concluded a nine-day statewide campaign during which Warring and Baghel faced protests and disruptions from supporters of former chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi.
Channi, who has been demanding Warring’s replacement as state Congress chief, stayed away from every programme during the campaign.
Warring attempted to give a personal touch in his first address under the initiative. Rather than directly attacking his Opponents, he spoke about his own journey, the difficult phase through which he took charge of the party and the workers who, according to him, stood by him when many others had walked away.
