In a strategic move to strengthen its women’s wing, the Congress Party has appointed new Presidents for its Mahila Congress units in six states with immediate effect. The appointments, approved by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, reflect the party’s commitment to empowering women within the political sphere.
“These appointments will further strengthen our grassroots connection with women and ensure better representation,” said Jairam Ramesh, Congress General Secretary, Communications.
New Presidents Appointed:
- Sarika Singh – Rajasthan
- Geeta Patel – Gujarat
- Pratiksha N Khalap – Goa
- Zodinliani – Mizoram
- A Rahamathunnisa – Puducherry
- Zubaida Begum – Andaman and Nicobar Islands
Congress Planning “Samvidhan Bachao Yatra”
The announcement of these appointments comes after the Congress party’s meeting on Wednesday, where discussions about upcoming initiatives were held.
- Chaired by Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, the meeting laid out plans for the launch of the “Samvidhan Bachao Yatra” at state, district, and block levels.
- Jairam Ramesh revealed that the Yatra is part of Congress’ mission to defend the Constitution and promote democratic values across the country.
- He also mentioned preparations for the 2025 AICC session to be held in Gujarat in the first fortnight of April.
Congress’ Preparations for 2025
Jairam Ramesh also spoke about the party’s organizational reforms and plans to strengthen the District Congress Committees (DCCs) as part of the ongoing revitalization effort. The Samvidhan Bachao Rashtriya Yatra is expected to be a key part of the party’s agenda leading up to the 2025 elections.
Challenges in Delhi Elections
Despite these steps, Congress faced a setback in the recent Delhi assembly elections, failing to open their account for the third consecutive term. The results, declared on February 8, highlighted the party’s struggle in the national capital. The new appointments and initiatives signal the Congress’ focus on revitalizing its grassroots presence and addressing challenges ahead.
