Congress Strengthens Outreach in Assam and UP
The Congress party in Assam has started a special programme called 'Raijor Podulit, Raijor Congress' to talk to people in different parts of the state.
They want to understand what people need and want before the next big election in 2026.
Five teams of Congress leaders are visiting different communities, like the Rongmei Naga people, traders, and health workers, to listen to their concerns.
They are also giving out special boxes where people can write down their ideas.
This is not about giving out tickets for the election but about making a plan that reflects what the people want.
The Congress is also preparing a report on what they think the current government has not done well.
In Uttar Pradesh, the Congress is getting ready for the 2027 elections by setting up teams and talking to voters.
They are also trying to get the support of North Indian voters in Mumbai.
