CG Politics: Baij and Bhupesh Baghel to Attend AICC Office Inauguration Amid Signs of Organizational Changes

Raipur: Chhattisgarh PCC President Deepak Baij and former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel are set to participate in the inauguration of the new All India Congress Committee (AICC) office and an organizational meeting in Delhi.
Deepak Baij left for Delhi on Tuesday afternoon, followed by Bhupesh Baghel later in the evening.
Key Meetings with Senior Congress Leaders
During their visit, the two leaders are expected to meet Chhattisgarh in-charge Sachin Pilot, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, and other senior party leaders.
The discussions are likely to focus on strengthening the party structure and strategic planning for upcoming elections.
Signs of Organizational Reshuffle
Speculations about changes within the Congress organization have gained momentum. This follows recent shifts in leadership, including the appointment of new district presidents in regions like Mungeli.
Sources suggest these changes are part of a larger strategy to counter the BJP’s organizational revamp, which has focused on strengthening district-level leadership with attention to political and caste dynamics.
Strengthening for Civic Polls
The Congress leadership is reportedly working on refining its approach ahead of upcoming municipal elections. The aim is to enhance grassroots-level support by reorganizing the party structure to better align with local political equations.
Strategic Moves in Response to BJP
Observers note that the BJP has recently implemented organizational changes in Chhattisgarh to bolster its position. In response, the Congress seems poised to adopt a similar approach, aiming to solidify its standing and electoral strategy.
As the AICC event and meetings unfold, all eyes are on Delhi to see how these discussions shape the future of the Congress organization in Chhattisgarh. The outcomes may signal significant shifts in the party’s regional dynamics and election preparations.
Posters outside the new Congress headquarters call for it to be named Sardar Manmohan Singh Bhavan, as a tribute to the former Prime Minister. Rahul Gandhi once referred to him as a mentor, yet he chose to travel to Vietnam for the New Year while the nation mourned his passing.… pic.twitter.com/Zg918sUyvG
