Congress Fragmented Across Punjab, Claims Shah Navaz Hussain

Shah Navaz Hussain, a prominent voice of the Bharatiya Janata Party, accused the Punjab branch of the Indian National Congress of breaking into several competing groups. Addressing reporters, Hussain said the party’s state cadre no longer respects the centrally appointed in‑charge and has launched a rebellion against the leadership choices of Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge. He emphasized that this internal discord is more than a simple power struggle; it represents a broader contestation of the party’s national command structure. Hussain warned that such division erodes voter confidence and weakens the opposition’s effectiveness. He also turned his attention to the drought situation in Karnataka, urging the central government to step in while criticizing the state’s perceived indifference. The BJP leader wrapped up his comments by acknowledging the Supreme Court’s recent decision on the Bhojshala prayer issue and assured that the administration would comply with the order.
