Congress top brass meets Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh leaders as the party sharpens its political strategy ahead of key electoral battles. On Thursday, the Congress leadership held separate meetings with senior leaders from both States and urged them to work together to expose what it described as the Bharatiya Janata Party’s failures in governance.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge chaired the meetings. Former party chief Rahul Gandhi and AICC general secretary (organisation) K.C. Venugopal also attended the discussions. The leadership stressed unity and coordination at all organisational levels.
During the meetings, leaders discussed the urgent need to strengthen booth-level structures. The party asked State units to speed up the appointment of booth-level agents and improve voter outreach. In addition, leaders raised concerns over alleged irregularities during the final stages of the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.
Moreover, the Congress leadership highlighted the importance of reviving the movement to restore MGNREGA in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh. Leaders said BJP governments had weakened employment guarantees and delayed wage payments, hurting rural households.
The party also advised leaders to take BJP’s unfulfilled promises directly to the public. According to Congress sources, the focus will remain on rising unemployment, inflation, and shrinking welfare support.
Overall, the leadership called for disciplined teamwork, sustained grassroots engagement, and a clear narrative to challenge the BJP’s political dominance in both States.
