The Congress has accelerated its preparations for the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, with party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra taking charge of key organisational and electoral planning. She recently held a meeting with senior Uttar Pradesh Congress leaders to review the party's preparations and discuss its political strategy. The meeting focused on a possible alliance with the Samajwadi Party (SP), seat-sharing arrangements and plans for the election campaign. The party is also working on strengthening its organisational structure and assigning responsibilities to senior leaders ahead of the polls.

Four Committees to Be Formed After Diwali
During the meeting, Congress leaders decided to constitute four major committees for the Uttar Pradesh elections after Diwali. These will include the manifesto committee, election management committee, Assembly campaign committee and alliance coordination committee. Names for the proposed committees have reportedly been shortlisted. The list will be sent to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge for final approval. These committees are expected to oversee different aspects of the election campaign, from preparing the party's promises to managing organisational activities and coordinating with potential allies.

Seat-Sharing Talks With Samajwadi Party in Focus
An alliance with the Samajwadi Party is expected to remain a key part of Congress's electoral strategy in Uttar Pradesh. A dedicated alliance coordination committee will handle discussions between the two parties, including seat-sharing arrangements and coordination of campaign programmes. According to reports, Priyanka Gandhi may play an important role in discussions with SP chief Akhilesh Yadav. The possibility of working with smaller regional parties will also be explored as Congress looks to strengthen its position across the state.

Four Major Regional Rallies Planned Across UP
Congress is planning four major regional rallies to build momentum ahead of the Assembly elections. These public meetings are proposed to be organised in Purvanchal, Awadh, Bundelkhand and western Uttar Pradesh. The party is also preparing a roadmap for public outreach programmes and rallies involving Rahul Gandhi and other senior leaders. The objective is to connect with voters across different regions and expand the party's campaign presence throughout the state.

Priyanka Gandhi Reviews Organisation and Election Strategy
The meeting chaired by Priyanka Gandhi was attended by senior state Congress leaders, including Uttar Pradesh in-charge Rajendra Pal Gautam, state president Aradhana Mishra and working president Imran Masood. Discussions covered election management, campaign planning and the distribution of organisational responsibilities. The party intends to move forward with committee formation, alliance discussions and grassroots-level activities after Diwali. These preparations are aimed at establishing a coordinated campaign strategy before the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
