Amarinder Singh Raja Warring said he tendered his resignation as Punjab Congress president to Rahul Gandhi in Delhi. He speculated that Sachin Pilot may have wanted him removed, but stressed that he had no concrete proof. Hindustan Times reported on 3 October 2026 that Pargat Singh had been appointed to succeed him.
What did Warring say about Sachin Pilot?
Warring told Hindustan Times that he suspected Pilot may have decided it was time to remove him from the post, while making clear the suspicion was not backed by evidence. He said: “Given my long journey in politics, I feel that Sachin Pilot may have decided that it was time to remove ‘Raja’ from the post. I do not have concrete proof of this, but perhaps the AICC general secretary felt that Raja should be removed,”

That is Warring’s conjecture, not confirmation that Pilot called for his removal or made the decision.
What was reported about the decision?
Hindustan Times attributed the move to organizational feedback gathered by Pilot, citing senior Congress leaders. The report did not publish documentary evidence of that feedback or of the party’s internal deliberations, so the account should be understood as attributed reporting rather than an independently documented explanation.
