The Congress party on Tuesday made a major organizational reshuffle to give a edge to the preparations for the upcoming elections in Maharashtra. The party has formed the Political Affairs Committee (PAC) for the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC). Along with this, new responsibilities have also been given to many senior leaders.

Ramesh Chennithla gets PAC command

According to a release issued by Congress’s organization general secretary KC Venugopal, the command of Maharashtra PAC has been handed over to state in -charge Ramesh Chennithla. In this committee, State Congress President Harshvardhan Sapkal, senior leaders Mukul Wasnik, Avinash Pandey, Prithviraj Chavan, Sushil Kumar Shinde and many other experienced leaders have been given place. This committee will take important strategic decisions of the party and will give direction to election preparations.

Appointments made at many levels

Apart from this, the Congress has made appointments at many levels to further strengthen the organization in the state unit. The party has announced the names of 16 senior vice -presidents, 38 vice -presidents, 108 general secretaries and 95 secretaries. All these officials have been given the responsibility of activating the party at the grassroots and enthusiasts in the workers.

The party has also formed an 87 -member executive, which will conduct party programs, movements and other activities across the state.

Apart from Maharashtra, the Congress has started preparing an election front in Karnataka too. The party has made new appointments for the election campaign committee there. Senior leader El Hanumanthaiya has been appointed as co -chairman of this committee.

It is clear from these changes that the Congress has now started preparing for the mission 2024 and the upcoming assembly elections. These new appointments in the organization expect the party to get strength at the ground level.

Maharashtra Congress News: Congress’s Maharashtra in -charge Ramesh Chennithla said on Thursday that the organizational reshuffle of the state unit will be completed by the second week of May. Chennithla said that there is a plan to organize a conference of all MPs, MLAs and senior leaders in Mahabaleshwar of Satara district in the state.

The Congress General Secretary said, “Every month Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee chief Harshvardhan Sapkal, Congress Legislature Party leader Vijay Wadettiwar and party leader Satej Patil in the Legislative Council will meet party MPs to discuss the issues of the state to be raised in Parliament.” He said, “We want to ensure that MPs are involved in party matters.”

Nana Patole resigns from the post of Maharashtra Congress President

Let me tell you that earlier after the defeat of Maha Vikas Aghadi in Maharashtra assembly elections, Nana Patole resigned as Maharashtra Congress President. Harshavardhan Sapkal was replaced as the President of Maharashtra Congress. This was a big change in the state organization of the party after the crushing defeat of the Congress in the Maharashtra assembly elections.

By appointing Sapkal, the party is trying to strengthen the organization before the upcoming local and municipal civic elections in Maharashtra. In front of Sapkal, there is a big challenge to re -achieve their old reputation by bringing all the groups together to bring new life in the party organization and to compete with the BJP -led Mahayuti.

At the same time, the Congress high command appointed the party’s veteran leader and former Leader of Opposition Vijay Wadettiwar as the leader of the Congress Legislature Party.

Congress won only 16 seats in assembly elections

In Maharashtra, the ruling NDA defeated the Congress Party and Maha Vikas Aghadi in the elections. The Congress party contested 103 seats in the state, but got only 16 seats. At the same time, in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections led by Nana Patole, the Congress party won 13 seats in a brilliant performance.
