Overview

In a strategic move ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the All India Congress Committee (AICC) approved the formation of eight new district-level Congress units in Rajasthan. The restructuring aims to strengthen grassroots engagement and enhance organizational efficiency in the state.

Key Highlights

Organizational Expansion

This move raises the total number of district Congress units to 50, matching Rajasthan’s administrative districts. Previously, 42 district units often managed multiple administrative areas, causing coordination issues.

Newly Formed Units

The newly established units are in Neem Ka Thana, Behror, Didwana-Kuchaman, Dudu, Gangapur City, Anupgarh, Balotra, and Salumbar—all part of the 2023 administrative reorganization by the Rajasthan government.

Boosting Local Leadership

Congress leaders highlighted that the units will aid in identifying and empowering local leaders, improving responsiveness to constituency-level issues, and enhancing alignment with electoral booths—leading to more efficient campaign mobilization.

Election Strategy

As a key battleground state, Rajasthan’s restructuring is part of a broader Congress strategy to bridge gaps in outreach, strengthen its rural and urban base, and decentralize authority to ensure effective coordination during the elections.
