Congress Considers Leadership Changes Ahead of 2027 Assembly Elections in UP and Punjab
Ahead of the 2027 assembly elections, the Congress party is considering leadership changes in Uttar Pradesh, with discussions focusing on replacing state chief Ajay Rai, possibly with a Brahmin or OBC leader like Aradhana Mishra. In Punjab, Congress plans to contest elections without naming a chief ministerial candidate, emphasizing unity under Rahul Gandhi's leadership amid internal factionalism. The party also continues to address social justice issues, including criticism of caste-based rituals, while positioning itself against BJP and AAP in regional contests.
