The Congress party has reshuffled key leadership roles ahead of upcoming state elections, appointing Sachin Pilot as AICC General Secretary in-charge of Punjab, replacing Bhupesh Baghel, who has been reassigned to Assam. Randeep Singh Surjewala continues as in-charge of Karnataka and takes on Gujarat as well. The changes aim to address factionalism in Punjab and strengthen the party's organisational strategy. Other appointments include Sukhdeo Bhagat for Chhattisgarh, Sirivella Prasad for Maharashtra, and PV Mohan for Andhra Pradesh, with Mukul Wasnik continuing as AICC General Secretary.
