Punjab Lok Congress (abbr. PLC; English: Punjab People's Congress) is an Indian regional political party, with its base in Punjab.[2] It was founded by Amarinder Singh on 2 November 2021, following a split in Indian National Congress in Punjab, after he resigned as Chief Minister of Punjab and quit the Indian National Congress.[1]

The party applied for its official registration with the Election Commission of India on 31 October 2021.[3] On 28 December 2021, the party entered into an alliance with BJP and SAD(S) to contest 2022 Punjab Legislative Assembly election.[4]
