Congress appoints district presidents in Rajasthan and Punjab

Congress appoints new DCC presidents in 4 Rajasthan and 2 Punjab districts to strengthen grassroots organisation under Kharge's leadership.

"These appointments are part of its broader effort to strengthen the organisational structure at the grassroots level - AICC Press Release"

Jaipur, Jan 30

The All India Congress Committee on Thursday announced the appointment of new District Congress Committee presidents in Rajasthan and Punjab with immediate effect.

The appointments have been approved by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge under the party's ongoing organisational strengthening initiative, Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan.

According to an official press release issued by AICC General Secretary K.C. Venugopal, four districts in Rajasthan and two districts in Punjab have received new leadership.

In Rajasthan, the Congress has appointed Digvijay Singh Purawat as DCC President, Pratapgarh, Sunil Sharma as DCC President, Jaipur Urban, Virender Singh Gurjar as DCC President, Jhalawar and Hansraj Meena as DCC President, Baran.

In Punjab, Kulwant Rai Singla has been appointed as DCC President, Mansa, while Nishat Akhtar has been appointed as DCC President, Malerkotla.

The party stated that these appointments are part of its broader effort to strengthen the organisational structure at the grassroots level and energise district units ahead of upcoming political challenges.

The appointments come into effect immediately and are expected to play a key role in reinforcing the Congress party's presence and coordination at the district level in both states.

The order was issued from the AICC headquarters at 24, Akbar Road, New Delhi, and bears the signature of KC Venugopal, MP and General Secretary, All India Congress Committee.

In Rajasthan, appointments on post of District Congress Committee presidents were awaited for these four seats for a long while. Names for 45 districts were announced last year in November.

Earlier on Tuesday, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi held a key meeting with senior leaders from the Uttarakhand unit of the party in New Delhi.

The interaction was part of the ongoing series of state-wise review meetings being conducted by the Congress high command to assess organisational strength, discuss local issues, and strategise for future electoral battles.

Interesting to see Nishat Akhtar appointed in Malerkotla, Punjab. It's a significant district demographically. Seems like a strategic move. The 'Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan' sounds good on paper, but will it translate to better connect with voters? 🤔

These appointments were pending for too long. While strengthening the organisation is necessary, I hope the new presidents focus on real issues like inflation and unemployment, not just internal politics. The common man needs solutions.

Respectfully, this feels like rearranging deck chairs on a sinking ship. The Congress needs a clear vision and younger leaders who can connect with today's India. Just changing district heads won't fix the deeper issues. #JustSaying

Hansraj Meena in Baran is a sensible choice given the tribal population there. Ground-level appointments matter more than central announcements. Hope they are given actual authority and resources to work.

Following Indian politics from abroad. It's crucial for a national party like Congress to have strong local units. The review meetings with Kharge and Rahul Gandhi seem systematic. Let's see if this organizational push yields results in the next elections.
