In a significant move aimed at restructuring the Congress party in Uttar Pradesh, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has announced the dissolution of the Pradesh, District, City, and Block Committees of the party's Uttar Pradesh unit, effective immediately.

The decision, made public on Thursday, follows the party’s lack of participation in the recent bypolls held in Uttar Pradesh. In the bypolls, the Congress chose not to field any candidates and instead extended its support to the Samajwadi Party (SP) and other INDIA bloc allies across nine constituencies. The party’s non-participation in the elections had raised eyebrows, with some speculating that it was part of a broader strategy to strengthen ties within the opposition alliance, but now it seems the party is shifting focus to its own internal reforms.
