Thakur said the Congress is committed to raising issues concerning the people of Punjab and working together in the larger interest of the state. He said with the 2027 assembly elections in view, special emphasis is being laid on strengthening the party organisation down to the booth level and ensuring active participation of every Congress worker.

Those present on the occasion included working Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president Sukhwinder Singh Danny, MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla, former MLAs Sukhpal Singh Bhullar, Inderbir Singh Bolaria and Raj Kumar Verka.

“The collective participation of the senior leadership during Thakur’s Punjab visit marked an important step towards strengthening organisational coordination and unity within the Congress in Majha. The leaders reiterated their commitment to further strengthening the party and working closely with workers to raise issues of public interest in the days ahead,” said Aujla.

The growing friction within the Punjab Congress became more apparent during the Rakhar Punia festival at Baba Bakala on August 28, as the party conference highlighted deep internal divisions.
