TAKING a leaf out of Bihar, the Congress is considering a leadership change in Uttar Pradesh and appointing a president from the Dalit or Other Backwards Class (OBC) community to revive its fortunes in the most crucial state. The party expects the move to align with its "social justice" pitch as part of its strategy for the 2027 assembly elections, according to sources. However, the change may happen after the Bihar elections later this year.

According to insiders, the names being discussed include Tanuj Punia, a Lok Sabha member from Barabanki, and Virendra Chaudhary, a sitting MLA from Maharajganj.
