Congress Strategizes for Maharashtra, Jharkhand Elections

The Congress party has appointed senior leaders such as Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot as observers for the upcoming Maharashtra and Jharkhand Assembly elections, following their unexpected defeat in Haryana. The Election Commission of India has scheduled these elections for November, with results to be announced on the 23rd. In Maharashtra, the Congress, part of the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance, has deployed key figures across regions to ensure robust election management. For Jharkhand, where Congress is allied with the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, senior leaders like Tariq Anwar and Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury have been appointed as observers. Internal strategy meetings led by Rahul Gandhi have been held to assess the party's readiness and to address issues such as seat-sharing with allies. The focus is on learning from the Haryana loss and strengthening the campaign strategy for the upcoming elections.
