Congress Leadership Meets Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh Leaders; Urges Unity to Expose BJP Failures

Party Focuses on Booth-Level Strategy, MGNREGA Revival, and Electoral Roll Issues

New Delhi: Congress Strengthens Ground Strategy Ahead of Political Battles

The Congress high command on Thursday (January 29, 2026) held separate meetings with senior party leaders from Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, stressing the need for unity and coordinated action to counter the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the two states.

During the discussions, the Congress leadership urged state leaders to work together, strengthen organisational networks, and aggressively highlight what the party called the BJP’s failures in governance and unfulfilled promises.

Booth-Level Organisation in Focus

A key topic of the meetings was the appointment of booth-level agents and workers, which the Congress sees as crucial for strengthening its grassroots presence. Party leaders were instructed to ensure that booth committees are active and connected with voters to counter the BJP’s organisational strength.

Push for MGNREGA Restoration Movement

The Congress leadership also discussed launching a movement to restore and strengthen MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act), alleging that the BJP governments have weakened the rural employment scheme.

Leaders were advised to mobilise rural communities and highlight job losses, delayed payments, and reduced allocations under the scheme.

Concerns Over Electoral Roll Revision

Another major issue raised was the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, with Congress leaders flagging alleged irregularities during the final stages of the process. The party discussed strategies to monitor voter lists and prevent what it termed as potential manipulation.

Congress Aims to Sharpen Political Messaging

The meetings are part of Congress’s broader strategy to sharpen its political messaging, rebuild organisational strength, and prepare for upcoming elections. Party leaders were directed to coordinate campaigns and raise public awareness about governance issues, inflation, unemployment, and welfare scheme implementation.

Road Ahead

With political competition intensifying, the Congress is focusing on unity, grassroots mobilisation, and issue-based politics to challenge the BJP in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh. The leadership believes a strong organisational structure and clear narrative on governance failures will be key to regaining political ground.
