New Delhi, Jan 24 (NationPress) In a strategic initiative to rejuvenate its grassroots network amidst changing political landscapes, the All India Congress Committee (AICC) has disclosed the appointment of more than 120 AICC observers as part of its "Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan" program.
The objective of this organizational effort is to bolster district-level leadership through the election of District Congress Committee (DCC) presidents in six states: Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Nagaland, Manipur, and Meghalaya.
In Bihar, known for its intricate caste dynamics and a robust rural voter demographic, the AICC has designated 29 observers. The list includes notable figures such as Bhajanlal Jatav, Ashok Singh, Rajesh Thakur, and others.
Uttar Pradesh, being the nation’s most populous state and a crucial arena in national politics, has been assigned the highest number of observers, with 75 AICC representatives dispersed across its districts.
Appointees from Uttar Pradesh feature prominent names like Dr Amee Yajnik, Kuldeep Indora, Sanjana Jatav, and many others.
In Goa, the Congress has appointed three observers — Dr N. Raghuveera Reddy, Vijay Inder Singla, and Ms Shobha Oza — to enhance the party’s organizational footprint in the coastal area.
Meghalaya will see 10 observers, including Bharatsinh Solanki and Ashok Tanwar, while Manipur will be overseen by nine observers, addressing its ethnic complexities and security issues.
Similarly, Nagaland will have nine observers assigned.
Each observer is tasked with overseeing a specific district and will collaborate with Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) observers to facilitate and accelerate the DCC president selection process, ensuring transparency and inclusivity in the party’s internal democracy.
The Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan is a part of a broader strategy by Congress to rebuild its grassroots cadre, particularly in regions where recent electoral challenges have revealed the necessity for enhanced leadership and organizational unity.
By deploying experienced party officials, the Congress leadership seeks to tackle local issues, promote unity, and prepare the organization for future Assembly and national elections.
According to party insiders, this initiative will focus on consensus-driven and merit-based selections, potentially transforming the party's organizational strength across these politically diverse territories.
