00:00Congress has also attempted to cover all its caste bases in Uttar Pradesh with its latest organizational reshuffle,
00:06including the appointment of a new chief of the state unit.
00:10Congress has appointed Aradhana Mishra Mona as president of the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee.
00:16Listen in to what she said after the appointment.
00:30Congress, Rahul ji ka, Priyanka ji ka,

00:52Mein itna zarur vishwaas dilaungi,
00:54ki meinne pishle doh varshu mein Congress ke saangaadhan ko mazboot hote dikha hai.
00:59Jis tarah se abhi Sangatans region ka karikram hua,

01:04Or mujhe pura bharosa hai, ki Congress ka ek-ek karikarta,
01:07is Pradesh mein, jis bhi konnye mein hooga,
01:10usko hum nikaal karke layenge aur Congress ko mazboot karenge.
01:14Let's now also understand what is the Congress Party's Uttar Pradesh game plan,
01:19because they are shifting their strategy,
01:21and now there's a new social coalition.
01:24So the party aims to bring different caste and social groups together,
01:26which is also reflecting in the fresh decisions that have been taken by the party.
01:31So Dalit Brahmin OBC alliance.
01:33So Congress plans to seek support from the Dalit, Brahmin and OBC communities.
01:37Big player Rajendra Pal Gautam, who's a Dalit leader,
01:40he has been appointed as the party's Uttar Pradesh in charge to strengthen its outreach.
01:45Then there's a Brahmin face, Radhna Mishramona,
01:48who has been appointed as the new Uttar Pradesh Congress chief.
01:52She's a senior Congress leader, who has been positioned to strengthen the party's Brahmin outreach.
01:57Then there is a Muslim face, Imran Masood, the Congress MP,
02:01who has now been given the post of the working Congress UP president,
02:07to represent and engage with the Muslim voters particularly.
02:11There's also a Nishad OBC face, who is Devinder Nishad.
02:14He is expected to help Congress connect with Nishad and other backward class communities as well.
02:20Then there's another Dalit face, he is Alok Prasad.
02:23He has been tasked with the strengthening mobilization among the scheduled caste communities.
02:28The big target, so one leadership slate, four social blocks.
02:32So the strategy seeks to combine one leadership structure with representation across four major social groups,
02:38as we stated earlier.
02:40And so clearly there's a strategy shift.
02:42The focus is now on caste groups and also on the Gen Z and youth.
02:46We've already seen Rahul Gandhi's Shatruki Gunj rallies in several parts of the country.
02:51So the Congress now plans to expand its outreach to caste communities as well as the younger voters also.
