The Congress party has announced important changes in its organisational setup to strengthen its position before crucial state polls. These moves come at a time when the party is focusing on better preparation and fresh strategies for winning back ground in several states.
Sachin Pilot has been given the responsibility of handling poll-bound Punjab as the new All India Congress Committee general secretary in-charge. His appointment signals a clear focus on building a strong campaign team well in advance for the 2027 assembly elections. Pilot’s experience in state politics is expected to help the party connect better with voters in the region.
At the same time, Randeep Singh Surjewala will now manage Gujarat along with his existing duties in Karnataka. This dual role shows the party’s effort to bring experienced leaders to states where elections are due next year. Surjewala’s organisational skills could play a vital role in planning and coordination.
In another shift, Baghel has been moved to Assam to take up new responsibilities. Such changes are part of a wider effort by party president Mallikarjun Kharge to refresh the team and improve performance in upcoming contests. The adjustments aim to ensure better focus and smoother functioning at the ground level.
These organisational updates highlight how the Congress is working to stay competitive in national politics. By assigning capable hands to important states early, the party hopes to build momentum and address local issues more effectively before voters head to the polling booths.
