In the run-up to the 2027 Assembly election, the Punjab Congress has announced that it will begin its public outreach campaign, ‘Punjab Mangda Insaaf’ (Punjab Demands Justice), from Wednesday (November 11, 2026), seeking accountability from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government over the menace of drugs, deteriorating law and order and corruption.

Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president Pargat Singh said that through this initiative, the Congress will establish direct contact with the people of Punjab and understand their problems and expectations.

“The Congress will engage directly with stakeholders from the IT sector, agriculture, various industries and others. Senior party leaders will participate in different programmes to understand people’s concerns across the State,” he said here, addressing a press conference.

He said senior party leader and former Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi would also reach out to people through a ‘cycle yatra’. Five to six senior Congress leaders will lead the campaign in different regions and take the party’s message to every household, he added.

“Punjab is grappling with drugs, gangsterism, deteriorating law and order and corruption. The Congress will raise all these issues as part of a comprehensive campaign and hold the government accountable,” he said.

He alleged that the AAP was the B-team of the Bharatiya Janata Party, saying Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann did not exercise actual control over the government and Punjab was being run from Delhi.

“The Congress wanted to promote harmony and positive politics in the State. The ‘Punjab Mangda Insaaf’ campaign would not be limited to any one section of society. Instead, it would represent the voice of farmers, labourers, traders, employees, youth, women and every section of society,” he said.
