Overview

• Rahul Gandhi inaugurated the 'Sangathan Sirjan Abhiyan' in Modasa, Gujarat, marking the start of a major organisational reform initiative for the Congress party.
• The reform aims to strengthen District Congress Committees (DCCs) by empowering their presidents and introducing a system of accountability.
• Party President Mallikarjun Kharge has declared 2025 as the 'year of organisational reforms,' with Gujarat chosen as the starting point for this overhaul.
• A total of 43 AICC observers and 183 PCC observers have been deployed to oversee the selection and empowerment of DCC presidents.
• The initiative is part of a broader strategy to revitalize the Congress's grassroots structure in Gujarat ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections, with a focus on removing BJP-aligned members.
