Congress president Sonia Gandhi Saturday appointed Amarinder Singh Brar (Raja Warring) as the party's new Punjab chief in place of Navjot Singh Sidhu, and former Rajya Sabha member Pratap Singh Bajwa as the new legislature party leader.
Mr Sidhu was asked to tender his resignation after the party's debacle in the recent elections in Punjab.
While Mr Warring, who was the Transport minister in the last Congress government, won the recent assembly elections from the Gidderbaha constituency, Mr Bajwa was elected as an MLA from the Qadian assembly constituency.
The appointments bear the stamp of Rahul Gandhi who had named Mr Raja Warring as Indian Youth Congress president and Pratap Singh Bajwa as Punjab Congress chief a few years ago.
