Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday dissolved all the committees formed in Uttar Pradesh for the assembly elections this year and is likely to reconstitute the state unit of the party.
Sources in the party said the office-bearers of the state unit would be replaced under the leadership of UP Congress Committee president Brijlal Khabri.
"The Congress president has approved a proposal to dissolve all the committees formed for the purpose of the assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh in 2022, with immediate effect," said an official communication from the party.
The Congress won in just two out of 403 assembly constituencies in Uttar Pradesh and managed to secure 2.33 per cent of the total votes polled in the elections held in March 2022. The Bharatiya Janata Party came back to power in the state led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is the All India Congress Committee general secretary in-charge of party affairs in Uttar Pradesh.
