The Maharashtra Congress is set to begin overhaul of its organisational at the grassroot level through its Sangathan Srujan Abhiyan amid criticism among workers over the lack of party organisation and dominance of repeat faces.
The change will include the first-ever selection of the taluka (block) president.

As part of the exercise, the party is finalising the list of 72 district presidents across the State, and in a departure from past practices, the campaign will also include appointments at the taluka level, covering 675 talukas. Selecting taluka level president is an initiative of State unit chief Harshwardhan Sapkal.
Under the new model, taluka Congress presidents will be appointed along with heads of ten frontal organisations and departments at each taluka, including Youth Congress, NSUI, Mahila Congress and Seva Dal, as well as representatives from OBC, SC, ST, VJNT, minority and social media wings.
