Mallikarjun Kharge Congress Meeting: Accountability, Grassroots Strengthening in Focus

Mallikarjun Kharge Congress Meeting: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge recently convened a meeting with newly appointed general secretaries and in-charges to emphasize the importance of accountability. Highlighting the need for a committed leadership, Kharge stated that top officials will be held responsible for the electoral outcomes in their assigned states. He stressed that only those who truly align with the Congress ideology and remain steadfast in challenging times should be promoted within the organization.

Reforming Party Structure and Combatting Electoral Manipulation

Following recent defeats in Haryana, Maharashtra, and Delhi Assembly elections, Congress is undergoing significant organizational restructuring. During the meeting, Kharge and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi addressed issues such as alleged voter list tampering. Kharge pointed out how names of loyal Congress supporters are often removed or shifted between booths, calling for a robust response to these tactics.

Strengthening Grassroots Connections

Kharge encouraged party officials to strengthen the organization from the booth level upward. He urged them to engage directly with workers at all levels—booth, block, district, and state—to identify and elevate reliable individuals who can contribute significantly to the party’s growth.

Addressing National Challenges

The Congress president also touched upon pressing national concerns, including inflation, unemployment, and international trade policies. He criticized the government’s handling of economic and diplomatic issues, such as high tariffs imposed by the U.S. and inadequate protest against unfair treatment of Indian citizens abroad.

A Call to Action for Congress Leaders

Kharge concluded by reminding the leadership that rebuilding the party’s strength requires hands-on effort, clear accountability, and a firm commitment to the party’s values.
