The Congress is preparing for a major organizational shake-up with plans to replace roughly half of its existing AICC secretaries. Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, alongside AICC general secretary K C Venugopal, interviewed around 130 probable candidates in New Delhi over the past week. The candidates were assessed in batches of 12 to 14 using individual dossiers detailing their past work and performance within the party structure. The Gandhi siblings are scheduled to meet existing AICC secretaries to review their performance before approximately 50% of them are relieved of their duties. During the group interviews, candidates faced detailed questions about their organizational contributions and hypothetical scenarios on how to revive the party in poorly performing states or upcoming election regions.
