In a strong bid to re-stoke its base and counter internal woes, the Indian National Congress is rolling out a comprehensive revitalization drive in Madhya Pradesh. Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi will himself launch the 'Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan' (Organisational Creation Campaign) in Bhopal on June 3, a fresh start for the party to refurbish its grassroot machinery and consolidate its base in the state.
 
Campaign Launch and Leadership
  • Date and Location: Rahul Gandhi will set the campaign rolling in Bhopal on June 3, 2025, on a day-long trip.
  • Campaign Name: 'Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan' (Organisational Creation/Rejuvenation Campaign).
  • Objective: To restore the organisational structure of the Congress party from the booth level upwards, with emphasis on grassroots mobilisation and internal cohesion.
Meetings and Strategy
  • Series of Meetings: Gandhi will preside over meetings with the state Working Committee, Executive Committee, Political Affairs Committee, and district presidents.
  • Role of Observers: He will address 50 observers nominated by the AICC, comprising MPs, MLAs, and retired ministers, who will evaluate party strengths and weaknesses in every one of Madhya Pradesh's 230 Assembly constituencies.
  • Internal Reorganization: Observers will spot strong candidates to hold district president positions with focus on ideological commitment, leadership, and people's connect.
Party Renewal and Future Strategy
  • New Leadership: The campaign follows the party's transfer of state leadership to second-generation leaders, with Jitu Patwari as the state Congress chief and Umang Singhar as the leader of Congress Legislature Party.
  • Action Against Internal Issues: Action will be strict against party members conspiring with opposition parties to regain party credibility.
  • Target Groups: The campaign focuses on re-establishing contact with youths, farmers, and workers, activating the booth-level machinery of the party.
  • Model and Expansion: The campaign is based on a model already successfully run in Gujarat, with Madhya Pradesh being the second state to use this revolutionary campaign.
Political Context
  • Political Challenges in the Recent Past: Congress has suffered consistent electoral defeats, including the BJP's clean sweep of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and a loss in the 2023 Assembly polls.
  • Strategic Timing: Rahul Gandhi’s visit comes just days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mega event in the state, highlighting the party’s intent to regain momentum.
