Newly appointed Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee President Amarinder Singh Raja Warring will officially take charge on April 22 in the presence of senior party leaders in Chandigarh.
Three-time MLA from Gidderbaha constituency of Muktsar district and a former transport minister, 44-year-old Warring was named the Congress’s state unit chief on April 9. He succeeds Navjot Singh Sidhu, who quit after the party's debacle in the recent Punjab Assembly election.

A PCC spokesperson said that Warring will take over the charge along with the working president Bharat Bhushan Ashu at a simple ceremony on April 22, since the wheat harvesting season is at its peak.
“While workers are welcome to attend the ceremony at Congress Bhawan in Chandigarh, after taking over the responsibility given to us by the party high command, we will reach out to you ourselves at your doorsteps,” Warring and Ashu said.
With civic polls around the corner, Warring has already dived headfirst into rallying the party. He, along with the working president Bharat Bhushan Ashu, has already covered about 30 assembly segments over the past week and met the workers there.
“We will ensure the coronation of each and every worker right at his doorstep as each one of them is the shining knight in armour for our party,” they added.
