Congress Appoints Aradhana Misra as UP Chief Ahead of Assembly Elections
Ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, the Congress party appointed Aradhana Misra as the state chief and Imran Masood as working president, aiming to revive its traditional Brahmin-Muslim-Scheduled Caste coalition. Misra, a three-term MLA and daughter of veteran leader Pramod Tiwari, faces the challenge of strengthening the party's grassroots amid declining influence. The reshuffle also precedes seat-sharing talks with the Samajwadi Party, reflecting Congress's efforts to regain relevance in the state’s political landscape.
