Ludhiana MP Amarinder Singh Raja Warring said on October 2 that he met Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi and handed over his resignation as Punjab Congress president. The Times of India reported his account after the meeting.

The Indian Express reported that Warring had led the state unit since April 2022. His departure comes as Congress prepares for the 2027 Punjab Assembly election following internal disagreements about the party’s leadership and organisation.

Warring said nobody had asked him to resign, according to The Indian Express. The Times of India recorded his assurance that he remained ready to serve the party. These statements describe his own account of the decision and his future availability.

The Indian Express said the AICC had not formally announced a replacement at the time of its report. Today’s verified development is the meeting and formal handover: earlier reporting had already signalled his exit. No reported contender is being presented here as the appointed successor.
