Pandey highlighted the positive impact of Rahul Gandhi’s “Bharat Jodo Yatra,” which resonated with people across the nation. “The love and support received during the Yatra have shown the cracks in BJP’s arrogance, and your contribution has been instrumental in bringing the Modi government closer to defeat,” he said, lauding the workers for their dedication.

UPCC President Ajay Rai reiterated the commitment to transparency in the organizational restructuring process. He urged party workers to gear up for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections with a united front. “We need to break the arrogance of the BJP currently in power and work tirelessly to strengthen the Congress. Engage with as many people as possible and make the organization robust,” Rai said.
