The Congress party on Thursday announced the much-awaited organisational restructuring at its working committee meeting, which the party named as Nava Satyagrah Baithak, in Belagavi. The party is commemorating 100 years of Mahatma Gandhi presiding the only Congress session as party president in 1924 in Belgaum (now Belagavi).

The opposition party also launched a movement called 'Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan' which will start on Friday and conclude on January 26 next year.

After January 26, the movement will continue and will take the shape of nationwide public outreach campaign called the Samvidhan Bachao Rashtriya Padayatra -- which will see participation from party leaders in all states.
