Police in Chhattisgarh have filed an FIR against Congress leaders following violence at a BJP protest, prompting Bhupesh Baghel to question the move given the BJP's attack reportedly occurred under police protection.

The rift within the Punjab Congress party has reportedly widened, even after mediation efforts by AICC Punjab in-charge Bhupesh Baghel.

A dissident faction maintained its distance as Bhupesh Baghel conducted meetings at the Punjab Congress Headquarters.

Former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has claimed that the arrested Ebix chief in the Mahadev app case was receiving protection from the BJP.

Bhupesh Baghel asserted that there is no rebellion within the Punjab Congress, characterizing the situation instead as a spirit of competition among members.

Congress MLAs in Assam met under the leadership of Bhupesh Baghel to discuss the selection of the Deputy Leader of Opposition in the Assam Assembly, with a decision expected soon.

The Congress’ Punjab unit remains divided, with former Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi keen to head the party while the leadership reportedly favors Amarinder Singh Raja Warring. Bhupesh Baghel has handed a report on the situation to the top brass.

Bhupesh Baghel has ruled out any leadership change within the Punjab Congress, effectively snubbing Channi amidst internal party discussions.

The Chhattisgarh High Court has upheld disciplinary actions against government personnel, including affirming the dismissal of a police officer for prolonged absence. The court also refused to quash a case against an Army sepoy for an abusive social media post.
