Delhi hosted a powerhouse Congress gathering on Tuesday, bringing together Uttarakhand’s senior leadership under the stewardship of Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi. AICC’s KC Venugopal and state in-charge Kumari Selja joined the fray, marking a critical juncture in the party’s election buildup.
The participant list read like a who’s who: Ganesh Godiyal, Harish Rawat, Yashpal Arya, Gurdip Sappel, Pritam Singh, Dr. Harak Singh Rawat, Karan Mahara, and more. X posts from official handles detailed the attendance and purpose.
At the heart of the meeting were in-depth exchanges on Uttarakhand’s burning issues—from political instability to public welfare and organizational gaps. Strategies for the forthcoming legislative elections dominated, with a focus on booth-level strengthening and campaign narratives.
Congress highlighted its vision for ecological balance, disaster resilience, and economic upliftment tailored to Uttarakhand’s terrain. The high command’s engagement reflects a hands-on approach to address past electoral setbacks.
This session is viewed as a launchpad for aggressive outreach, targeting disillusioned voters and key demographics like women and youth. Internal assessments will inform targeted interventions across constituencies.
Kharge didn’t hold back on national matters, slamming the Centre for the Republic Day affront to Rahul Gandhi. Labeling it an assault on constitutional values and opposition dignity, he called for public reckoning.
As part of broader state reviews, this Uttarakhand meet underscores Congress’s all-out push to emerge as a formidable contender in the polls.
