Haryana Congress Appoints Over 100 Block Presidents After 12 Years, No Women IncludedPreviousNext

After nearly 12 years without a grassroots structure, the Haryana Congress appointed 103-104 block presidents across multiple districts to rebuild its organisation ahead of future elections. The appointments, announced by state president Rao Narendra Singh, exclude any women, drawing criticism amid ongoing electoral roll revisions. Some district lists remain pending, and the party has faced challenges in establishing local committees since dissolving them in 2014 following poor electoral performance.
