With the Congress dedicating 2025 to organizational restructuring as it prepares to take on the BJP's juggernaut, the grand old party is planning a massive overhaul of its internal setup, reflecting Rahul Gandhi's vision to empower grassroots leaders and build a future-ready leadership. The restructuring process involves feedback from over 1,000 party workers and leaders for the selection of district presidents.

Gandhi, who is also the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, has recently toured the country extensively to address long-standing issues that have hindered the party's electoral performance.

A source closely involved in the organizational reshuffle said these long-awaited reforms will significantly strengthen democracy within the party.

He explained that Gandhi is committed to implementing his long-pending goal of fostering internal democracy in the Congress by identifying underperforming and compromised leaders and workers.
