NEW DELHI: The AICC general secretary K C Venugopal on Tuesday announced that the Congress will undergo a "massive organisational reshuffle".
During a meeting at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Memorial, party leaders committed to following the "path of social justice" championed by Sardar Patel. Venugopal indicated that this year would focus on comprehensive party restructuring, which was extensively discussed at the meeting.
What are the proposed reforms?
The party plans to implement measures strengthening district unit chiefs in the near future. The proposal, already approved by general secretaries and in-charges, outlines the duties and powers of District Congress Committees (DCCs).
The Extended CWC passed a resolution acknowledging Sardar Patel's legacy of fighting British oppression, supporting workers and farmers, and rejecting communal forces. Venugopal emphasised that their Nyay Path follows Patel's principles of fundamental rights and freedoms.
AICC general secretary Sachin Pilot spoke about creating more empowered district units with enhanced accountability and political strength. He expressed confidence in the Congress's ability to challenge the BJP and NDA effectively in upcoming elections.
Briefing reporters outside the venue, Pilot said, "The intention of the Congress president and the Leader of Opposition is to create a more empowered district unit."
"The accountability, the responsibility and the political strength that we have thus given to the district presidents is set to be enhanced," he stressed.
The final outcome will be decided after the convention on Wednesday but the intention of the Congress is to make the District Pradesh Congress (DCC) presidents more empowered than before, the former Union minister said, adding the move is aimed at expanding the party's reach in villages, divisions and booths.
"The year 2025 is the year of the organisation to strengthen our workers, expand our party ideology and to make sure that the Congress reaches out in a mass contact programme through padyatras and door-to-door programmes," he said.
The party wants to send a clear message not just to its opponents but to its supporters and workers that the Congress will not step back and fight aggressively both within Parliament and outside, and make sure it wins the next political challenge, Pilot said.
He said the resolution passed at the end of the session on April 9 will be named 'Nyay Path'.
The grand old party has announced that the Ahmedabad Session will be themed "Nyaypath: Sankalp, Samarpan aur Sangharsh", with more than 1,700 elected and co-opted AICC members attending the main conclave on April 9 on the banks of the Sabarmati river between the Sabarmati Ashram and Kochrab Ashram.
