The Congress party has appointed Baghel to lead its Assam unit, with senior leader Gaurav saying his guidance will be crucial for the state’s revival.
New Delhi – The Indian National Congress announced on Tuesday that senior leader Baghel has been given charge of the party’s operations in Assam. The decision comes as the party seeks to rebuild its presence in the northeastern state after a series of electoral setbacks.
Congress veteran Gaurav, speaking to the media, said Baghel’s experience and strategic insight would be "invaluable" for reviving the party’s fortunes in Assam. He added that the appointment reflects the central leadership’s confidence in Baghel’s ability to coordinate grassroots campaigns and strengthen alliances.
Party officials said Baghel will oversee the state’s organizational restructuring, candidate selection for upcoming elections, and outreach to key communities. The move is expected to energize local cadres and signal a renewed focus on Assam ahead of the next state assembly polls.
The announcement was made at a press conference in New Delhi, where party spokespeople emphasized that Baghel’s guidance will help the Congress reconnect with voters and address regional issues such as unemployment and infrastructure development.
Analysts note that the appointment could reshape the political dynamics in the state, where the Congress has been trying to regain ground against the ruling BJP and regional parties.
