Congress high command has asked Punjab unit to fight on all 13 Lok Sabha seats: Warring

The Congress high command has asked the state unit to gear up to fight all 13 Lok Sabha seats in Punjab, state unit president Amrinder Singh Raja Warring said on Tuesday.

He further said he has not received any indication from the party’s high command about fighting the 2024 Lok Sabha polls in alliance with any party. Warring also said the party will welcome slain singer Sidhu Moosewala’s father Balkaur Singh if he expresses interest in contesting the elections next year.

Replying to a question on contesting the 2024 Lok Sabha polls in alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab, he said, “Till now, there is a message from the party high command that you make preparations for contesting all 13 seats.” The party leadership has asked for details about those who can contest elections while considering caste combinations and representation to all castes, he said.
