Congress Unveils Massive Organisational Restructure and Empowerment Drive

The Congress is set to launch a significant organisational restructure, enhancing powers for district units and increasing SC/ST/OBC representation. The party also aims to appoint women and youth to 50% of positions. This initiative aligns with the "Nyay Path" theme, embracing Sardar Patel's legacy of social justice.

In a bid to reinvigorate its structure, the Congress announced a massive organisational reshuffle as part of its "Nyay Path" initiative, aiming to empower district units with more authority. This was revealed by party general secretary K C Venugopal.

The party plans to amend its internal structure by boosting SC/ST/OBC representation in all positions beyond 50% and aiming to fill 50% of positions with women and youth. Discussions about this plan surfaced at the Raipur session and were reiterated at an Extended Congress Working Committee meeting.

The reform aligns with the principles of social justice advocated by Sardar Patel, emphasizing dedication and struggle. Congress leaders affirmed commitment to Patel's legacy while positioning the party strategically against BJP claims. The adjustments are scheduled for a formal conclusion at the Ahmedabad session.
