The Congress high command is considering creating two zones in Punjab – Malwa and Doaba-Mazha – and appointing separate state presidents to settle internal differences and boost election campaigning.
The Congress high command has focused on resolving internal disagreements among Punjab leaders ahead of the upcoming elections. To streamline the party’s structure, officials are evaluating a proposal to split the state into two zones – Malwa and Doaba-Mazha – each overseen by its own state president.\n\nCreating separate leadership for the two regions is seen as a way to reduce factionalism and provide clearer direction for campaign activities. Party insiders say the move aims to channel resources more efficiently and present a united front to voters.\n\nWhile the proposal is still under discussion, senior leaders have emphasized the urgency of ending rifts quickly so that the Congress can launch a cohesive election drive across Punjab.
