Chandigarh: A major political storm appears to be brewing in Punjab Political Crisis: President’s Rule Claim by Randhawa, as senior Congress leader and Gurdaspur MP Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa has claimed that the state government is facing a serious crisis and that President’s Rule may be imposed in the near future.
Addressing a press conference in Chandigarh, Randhawa stated that instability within the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has increased significantly. According to him, several AAP MLAs are allegedly in contact with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and are waiting for the “right time” to switch sides. Therefore, the current situation has raised serious questions about the stability of the Punjab government.
Moreover, it was emphasized by Randhawa that rumors had been spread suggesting that senior Congress leaders, including former Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi and some Members of Parliament, were in touch with the BJP. However, these claims were firmly denied. It was clearly stated that no Congress MP or MLA is planning to leave the party. Thus, attempts to create confusion around Congress leadership were dismissed.
At the same time, Randhawa pointed out that internal unrest within AAP cannot be ignored. He claimed that dissatisfaction is growing among party legislators. As a result, political uncertainty has deepened, further fueling the ongoing Punjab political crisis.
Responding to allegations regarding AAP Rajya Sabha MPs being termed “traitors,” Randhawa made a sharp remark. He stated that “traitors have only betrayed other traitors,” indirectly criticizing AAP’s internal dynamics. Furthermore, it was highlighted that AAP itself has provided space to leaders who previously belonged to parties like the Shiromani Akali Dal and Congress. Many of these leaders are now holding key positions in the government.
In addition, Randhawa asserted that Congress leaders have no reason to join the BJP. He argued that the current situation of several senior Congress leaders who have already joined the BJP is well known and not encouraging. Therefore, according to him, Congress remains a stable political option despite the ongoing turmoil.
Meanwhile, political analysts believe that such statements could intensify the already heated political environment in Punjab. Although no official confirmation regarding President’s Rule has been made, the possibility has sparked debate across political circles.
On the other hand, the ruling AAP has not officially responded to these claims so far. However, if such allegations continue to surface, pressure on the government is likely to increase. Consequently, the coming weeks could prove crucial in determining the direction of Punjab politics.
In conclusion, the Punjab political crisis appears to be deepening with fresh allegations, counterclaims, and speculation about potential political shifts. While Congress has denied any internal dissent, questions continue to be raised about stability within AAP. As the situation unfolds, all eyes remain on the state’s political developments.
