The Congress central leadership faces a critical challenge in mediating the deep-seated infighting within the Punjab Congress cadre, with just days left before elections. Despite multiple meetings, the leadership has yet to forge a resolution to the internal disputes that threaten the party's electoral prospects.

In a renewed effort to bridge the divides, the party is now actively soliciting feedback from its Members of Parliament (MPs), Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs), and grassroots leadership across Punjab. This move signals an intensified push to understand the root causes of the discord and to formulate a strategy that can unite the party ranks.

The ongoing scramble to end the internal conflict underscores the urgency for the Congress party to present a united front as it prepares for the upcoming polls. The success of these consultations will be crucial in determining the party's ability to overcome its internal challenges and effectively campaign in the state.
