The Congress party has launched a ‘Sanghatana Srujana Abhiyana’ in Yadgir district of Karnataka to systematically restructure and strengthen its organisation from the booth level up to the district committee.

​Addressing a press conference at the Press Club on October 27, District Congress Committee (DCC) President Basareddy Anpur stated that the organisational restructuring is being carried out under the guidance of the party’s national leadership.

Following the appointment of nearly 1,100 district presidents across the country based on reports of observer, Yadgir is extending the process to frontline units, cell heads, vice-presidents, and executive committee members.

Selection criteria

Appointments will strictly prioritise service to party, organisational capability, and dedication to cadre work over political recommendations from influential figures.

The party aims to form a ‘mandal’ (unit) for every 10 gram panchayats. Furthermore, a 15-member committee will be established under a designated Congress president in every gram panchayat, ensuring fair representation for women and backward classes, Mr. Anpur said.

Visit by observers

Campaign observer Pundaleekarao, along with co-observer Sreedevi, will inspect organisational activities across the district. Pundaleekarao is scheduled to participate in discussions on party activities on October 29, and hold consultative meetings across Shahapur and Shorapur Assembly constituencies on October 30.

Campaign observer Pundaleekarao, who also addressed mediapersons, emphasised that this initiative marks a shift away from individual-driven politics, replacing the influence of ministers or legislators in office-bearer selection with a merit-based system focused on active, grassroots party workers.

​Block Congress President Mallikarjun Eti and DCC Secretary Thimmanna Nayak were also present at the press conference.
