Congress high command will resolve differences among Punjab leaders soon: Gehlot

New Delhi, Jul 7 (PTI) Senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot on Tuesday said any differences within the Punjab unit would be resolved by the party high command soon and expressed confidence that all leaders will work unitedly to help form a Congress government in the state. Speaking to reporters here, the former Rajasthan chief minister said the party high command is in the know of things and all matters would be resolved very soon. "In Punjab, reports about recent decisions causing some unrest are in the knowledge of the party high command and they are looking into it. We hope the issues of misunderstanding or differences would be resolved very soon. All Congress leaders would together fight the elections and a Congress government would be formed in Punjab," he said. On former Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi being unhappy over the decisions in the state unit, he said, "The high command knows about this and is looking into it... We will all work to establish our government in Punjab." "Everything will be okay...next time there will be a Congress government in the state," Gehlot said. Amid infighting within the Punjab Congress, general secretary in-charge of the state Bhupesh Baghel on Tuesday continued his pre-schedule meetings with party leaders, but those backing Channi for reconsideration as the state unit chief are yet to meet him. State Congress president Amrinder Singh Raja Warring on Tuesday, however, claimed that Channi will meet Baghel in a day or two. On Monday, several senior leaders held a meeting in Mohali in the presence of Channi, days after several incumbent and former MLAs threw their weight behind the Lok Sabha member to be reconsidered for the state unit chief's post. An announcement to retain Warring as the Punjab Congress chief came last Wednesday, alongside the unveiling of the party's various committees for the 2027 polls. PTI SKC SKC KVK KVK
