Rahul Gandhi Takes Charge: Haryana Congress Gets New Life with Unified Plan
Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, spearheaded a crucial meeting in Chandigarh to end the long-standing internal conflicts within the Haryana Congress, breathing new life into the state unit.
National News: Addressing the internal conflicts that led to the party’s surprising defeat in the 2024 Haryana Assembly elections, Gandhi unveiled a comprehensive strategy under the ‘Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan’. His leadership aims to revitalize the state unit, restoring its competitive edge in Haryana’s political arena.
Healing Old Wounds
This discord contributed to the party’s loss to the BJP in 2024, despite strong anti-incumbency sentiment. Gandhi’s intervention focused on reconciliation, urging leaders to prioritize collective goals over personal rivalries. The meeting saw commitments from all factions to work under a unified leadership structure, with Selja appointed to oversee grassroots campaigns and Hooda tasked with mobilizing rural voters.
The ‘Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan’ Blueprint
Gandhi’s ‘Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan’ emphasizes decentralized decision-making, empowering block-level workers to strengthen the party’s base. The plan includes forming 90 new block committees across Haryana’s 22 districts, training 5,000 young leaders, and launching door-to-door campaigns to address local issues like unemployment and farmer distress. A digital platform, ‘Haryana Congress Connect,’ will be introduced to engage voters and counter BJP’s social media dominance. Gandhi also announced a review committee to ensure fair ticket distribution for future elections, aiming to avoid past controversies.

A Renewed Political Vision
The unified plan signals Congress’s intent to challenge the BJP’s grip on Haryana ahead of the 2029 Assembly polls. By addressing key issues like agrarian crises and youth employment, Gandhi aims to rebuild voter trust. The party’s revitalized Haryana unit, backed by a cohesive leadership, is poised to leverage anti-incumbency against the BJP. As Gandhi’s strategy takes shape, the Congress hopes to transform internal unity into electoral success, setting a model for other state units to follow.
