Uttar Pradesh Congress president Aradhana Mishra ‘Mona’ said the party had begun preparations for ‘Mission 2027’, directing key organisational units to step up their work ahead of the Assembly elections.
The Congress in Uttar Pradesh is preparing for the 2027 Assembly elections, with seat-sharing discussions expected to begin shortly and the party having already submitted a list of around 180 constituencies to its allies, state in-charge Rajendra Pal Gautam said on Saturday.
Speaking to ANI in Lucknow, Gautam said several rounds of meetings were tentatively scheduled for November 17, when the seat-sharing arrangement was expected to be finalised.
“We have already provided them with a list comprising approximately 180 seats — and the talks are set to begin soon. Tentatively, several rounds of meetings will take place on the 17th, during which everything will be finalised,” he said.
Congress plans constitution day march
Gautam also announced plans for a march on Constitution Day, November 26, from the party office to the statue of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar.
He accused the Election Commission of manipulating electoral rolls through the removal of legitimate voters, the addition of fake entries and unauthorised changes to voter details.
“Extensive preparations are underway for Constitution Day. November 26th, the day in 1949 when the nation adopted, enacted, and gave to itself the Constitution drafted by Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, is celebrated as Constitution Day,” Gautam said.
He added that thousands of Congress workers would take part in the march to protest what he described as conspiratorial actions by the Election Commission.
“The entire nation stands firmly in support of the Constitution of India. Any conspiracy to alter it, act against it, or manipulate the electoral process by removing or fabricating votes will not be permitted to succeed,” he said.
‘Mission 2027’ takes shape
Earlier on Saturday, Uttar Pradesh Congress president Aradhana Mishra ‘Mona’ said the party had begun preparations for ‘Mission 2027’, directing key organisational units to step up their work ahead of the Assembly elections.
Following a meeting in Lucknow, Mishra said the Legal Cell, Social Media wing, Media wing and Connect Centre had been asked to prepare around four key themes that would form the basis of the party’s election strategy.
“Today we discussed four key themes, and we have instructed our teams, including the Legal Cell, Social Media wing, Media wing, and the Connect Centre, to begin preparations. These four themes will serve as our primary tools for the upcoming elections,” she said.
Mishra added that the teams had been briefed on the themes and expressed confidence that the renewed enthusiasm among district units and heads of various frontal organisations would mark the beginning of the party’s preparations for the 2027 polls.
