Padmaraj R. Poojary Appointed DKDCC President Amid Mixed Reactions

Poojary aims to strengthen the Congress at the grassroots and win local elections by promoting party discipline and inclusivity. His appointment has drawn mixed reactions, with some questioning his rapid rise and lack of prior party leadership roles.
