Punjab Congress Starts New Campaign Ahead of State Elections

The Punjab Congress rolled out the 'Punjab Mangda Insaaf' campaign on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, to reach out to every section of society and raise their concerns ahead of the State polls. Punjab Congress president Pargat Singh and Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa launched the campaign at the party headquarters in Chandigarh.

Campaign Goals

The new outreach effort aims to connect with people and raise issues concerning farmers, youths, drugs, law and order, and other public concerns. Opposition leader Bajwa said party leaders will visit different parts of the State to talk about government employees, pensioners, the old pension scheme, and the poor financial health of the State. He claimed that the ruling AAP government has failed on all fronts and criticized AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal over an unfulfilled promise of fifty-four thousand crore rupees per annum for infrastructure and colleges. Congress leaders also plan to engage directly with stakeholders from the IT sector, agriculture, and various industries.

Upcoming Events

Congress campaign committee chairman and MP Charanjit Singh Channi has planned a cycle rally titled 'Jawani Sambhal, Jatta', which begins on November 12 to reach voters across different assembly constituencies. Mr. Bajwa stated that party leaders will join the cycle yatra together to spread the party message. Different programs are planned across the Majha, Malwa, and Doaba regions to reach the maximum number of people before the assembly polls due early next year.

Context
