00:00Amrinder Raja Waring is now out and Pargat Singh is in as the Punjab Congress Chief.
00:06Congress has appointed former Olympian and Jalandharkan tournament MLA Pargat Singh as the new president of the Punjab unit.
00:13Pargat Singh is a former Punjab Minister for Education and Sports.
00:16The hockey legend has also captained India at the 1992 Barcelona and 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
00:23He's a Padma Shri and Arjuna Award recipient for his achievements in hockey.
00:28While former Punjab Congress Chief Raja Waring has congratulated Pargat Singh on his appointment,
00:33Raja Waring had earlier said that he was not asked to resign, claiming that Rahul Gandhi showed him great affection.
00:39But he said that he felt that Sachin Pilot, who's the Punjab in charge, wanted him out.
00:45Punjab BJP Chief Keval Dhillon says that a factional fight will not end in the Congress with Waring's resignation or
00:52the appointment of a new chief.
00:53He also alleged that all Congress leaders are chasing the Chief Minister's chair.
00:58And Punjab Chief Minister Bhagawan Tman has launched an even sharper attack,
01:02saying that Congress has fewer karakartas, but more leaders aspiring to become the Chief Minister.
01:32He also added that in his circle of Punjab,
01:37and he was the most part of Punjab.

03:36And India Today exclusively spoke with outgoing Punjab Congress Chief Amrinder Singh Raja Varing
03:42after his meeting with Rahul Gandhi. Listen in.
04:00I don't think I'm a senior. I don't think I'm a senior because every time they live, we live as
04:10much as we live.
04:12And they are our chief minister and I don't have any support from them.
04:19And when we make the party, we believe that.
04:26Sachin Pailar had become our in-charge in five ways.
04:32And today there will be two ways.
04:35For about two hours, the government came to the village in the agitation.
04:42And after that, Niranthar was getting here.
04:47And I think that there is a need to change.
04:53So I think that there will be no feedback.
04:58So let's now understand the Congress Party's Punjab game plan.
05:02So it is focusing on the Jat-Sikh consolidation of votes.
05:06So Pargat Singh has now been appointed as the Punjab Congress Chief to strengthen the party's outreach among the Jat
05:13-Sikh voters.
05:14One united front.
05:16So it is bringing competing factions, the rival factions within the party together under Sachin Pailar,
05:21who's in charge of Punjab under his strategic coordination.
05:26The attack is on Amadmi Party.
05:28So the Congress Party is also highlighting alleged policy gaps and law and order concerns,
05:33particularly in the rural areas of Punjab.
05:36There's farmer outreach also.
05:37So they are reconnecting with rural voters who have shifted away by emphasizing agriculture-related relief measures.
05:44Well-oiled poll machinery.
05:46So they are also streamlining district and block-level teams to strengthen the grassroots coordination.
05:50So this is the new strategy and game plan of the Congress Party in poll-bound Punjab.
