Mission 2029: Rahul Gandhi’s big bet, with major changes in Congress, UP gets new Dalit face

The chessboard for Lok Sabha elections 2029 has been laid and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has announced major organizational changes to strengthen the party organization. The main focus of Congress is now on Dalit outreach, strong hold on the ground and aggressive strategy. With this change, Congress has taken surprising decisions in a politically important state like Uttar Pradesh.

Dalit stake in UP and entry of Rajendra Pal Gautam

In Uttar Pradesh, Congress has made a major change in its strategy and appointed Dalit leader and former Delhi AAP minister Rajendra Pal Gautam as the new in-charge in place of Brahmin face Avinash Pandey. This appointment is a clear signal towards Congress aggressively pursuing its ‘social justice’ agenda. The strong social base of Gautam, who joined Congress two and a half years ago, is raising new hopes for the party. Gautam has clarified that Congress’s doors are open to all parties including BSP that believe in the Constitution, which gives rise to new possibilities of alliance for 2029.

Seva Dal gets new energy, wife Srinivas will take command

Congress has made former Youth Congress President BV Srinivas the ‘Chief Organizer’ to breathe new life into its 102-year-old frontal organization ‘Seva Dal’. Srinivas, who earned the reputation of ‘Oxygen Man’ due to his humanitarian help during the Corona period, is known for his aggressive and fearless leadership. Srinivas aims to equip the Seva Dal with youthful energy and prepare it as a strong and fearless cadre for Rahul Gandhi’s mission.

Manickam Tagore becomes chief strategist of Mission 2029

Manickam Tagore, known for his vocal voice in Parliament, has been given big responsibility in the organization. The responsibility of strengthening the position of Congress in Tamil Nadu and setting the right equation for the 2029 Lok Sabha elections lies on the shoulders of Tagore. Manickam Tagore has made it clear that his only mission is to see Rahul Gandhi as the Prime Minister in 2029 and keeping this goal in mind, the party is already strengthening the foundation.

Winds of change and challenges ahead in the states too

To maintain the balance of power in the organization, Congress has also made major changes in the in-charges of the states. Sanjay Dutt has been made the new in-charge in Haryana, while Lalji Desai has been given the responsibility of Odisha so that Ajay Lallu can completely focus on the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. According to sources, in the coming time, major changes can also be seen in Punjab, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and Jharkhand. These decisions of Rahul Gandhi are in the direction of making the party more decisive, although making the state units autonomous and strong still remains a big challenge for the party.
