Himachal Pradesh Congress Appoints 71 Block Presidents Without Women Representation

The Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee, led by President Vinay Kumar, appointed 71 block presidents without including any women, citing the demanding nature of the roles. While Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe members were represented, women currently hold positions in the state executive and district committees. These appointments follow the approval of the Political Affairs and Executive Committees by AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge, with upcoming local and state elections influencing party restructuring.
