The Congress in Punjab will field 60-70 new faces for the 2027 Assembly polls, the party’s state unit chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring Thursday said.
“The Punjab Congress is determined to bring at least 60-70 new faces to represent the state as MLA candidates in the 2027 Vidhan Sabha elections. This will be a landmark step towards rejuvenating our political leadership and ensuring that the aspirations of Punjab’s people are represented by leaders who are dynamic, committed, and in tune with the needs of the state. These new faces will not only symbolize change but also embody the trust and hopes of the youth and the common people of Punjab,” Warring said.
He was addressing a gathering of Punjab Youth Congress, which held its state executive meeting in Chandigarh.
“We have just two years left before the next elections, and this is the time to prove your mettle by addressing the concerns of the people and by standing firm for their rights. Leadership is not innate; it is cultivated through experience and dedication. The Youth Congress is a vital platform where young leaders are nurtured to become the driving force of tomorrow,” said Warring.
He emphasised that the efforts of the Youth Congress members will play a pivotal role in laying the foundation for a stronger, more inclusive, and united Punjab in the future. “This is your chance to prove yourself and show the people of Punjab that we are committed to real and meaningful change,” he said.
Indian Youth Congress (IYC) president Uday Bhanu Chib called upon the volunteers to oust the Aam Aadmi Party regime in 2027.
Chib claimed that it is crystal clear that the people of Punjab are waiting for an opportunity to hand over the command of the state to Congress. The Congress, he said, regained its strength in Punjab in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections by winning seven of the 13 seats.
Ravindra Uttam Rao Dalvi, co-incharge of Punjab Congress, also addressed the gathering. “The history of Punjab is filled with stories of young leaders who have risen to the occasion, and now it is your time. The future of the Congress party and the state lies in your capable hands. Work relentlessly to uphold the values of justice, equality, and progress, and you will make history in 2027,” he said.
