New Delhi, August 8: The Congress party has made significant changes to its leadership team in Uttar Pradesh, marking a notable shift after nearly seven years. The party has removed six long-standing AICC secretaries, including Dheeraj Gurjar, a known supporter of Sachin Pilot from Rajasthan. In his place, former MLA Jagdish Jangid from Sadulshahar has been appointed as the new AICC secretary responsible for Uttar Pradesh.
Dheeraj Gurjar had been a part of the Uttar Pradesh organization for seven years. His removal is seen as part of Congress’s new organizational strategy, reflecting the changing political and social dynamics in the state. However, the party has not provided specific reasons for his dismissal.
Changes in Uttar Pradesh Leadership After Seven Years
The Congress party has revamped its leadership team by replacing six old AICC secretaries associated with the Uttar Pradesh in-charge general secretary. Dheeraj Gurjar was a long-standing member of this team. His removal is attributed to his lengthy tenure and the evolving political landscape in Uttar Pradesh. Nonetheless, the party has not officially stated the reasons for this change.
Jagdish Jangid Takes Charge of Uttar Pradesh
Jagdish Chandra Jangid, a former MLA from Sadulshahar, has been appointed as AICC secretary and attached to the Uttar Pradesh in-charge general secretary. Jangid is recognized as one of the prominent OBC faces in Rajasthan Congress. He is a graduate of St. Stephen’s College in Delhi and has a background in law.
Promotion of OBC Leadership
Political circles view Jangid’s appointment as a strategy to promote OBC leadership within the party. He is considered a supporter of former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot. Given the significant role of OBC voters in Uttar Pradesh politics, Congress’s decision is seen as an attempt to balance social equations. However, the party has not officially linked this appointment to any specific ethnic strategy.
Meeting with Leaders from Rajasthan’s Border Districts
Meanwhile, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi met with several leaders from Rajasthan’s border areas in New Delhi. Attendees included former cabinet minister Saleh Mohammad, former district president of Barmer Congress Gafur Ahmed, former district president Fateh Khan, and Sher Mohammad.
Dinner Diplomacy at Ummedaram’s Residence
A meeting and dinner involving Congress leaders took place at the residence of Barmer-Jaisalmer MP Ummedaram in Delhi. The gathering included state Congress president Govind Singh Dotasra and other leaders. These meetings are viewed as part of the organizational dynamics of Rajasthan Congress and the party’s upcoming political strategy, although no official details have been released regarding the discussions.
