  "account": "The Congress party is set to reorganise its structure in Uttar Pradesh in preparation for the upcoming Assembly elections, according to the party's general secretary, K.C. Venugopal. This reorganisation involves the finalisation of new District Congress Committee (DCC) presidents as part of the party's ongoing organisational exercise. Venugopal, who held two-day discussions with Rajendra Pal Gautam, Ajay Rai, Aradhana Mishra, and other senior officials, emphasised the focus on the ongoing Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan and preparations for the Assembly polls. The Congress aims to consolidate its position in Uttar Pradesh, with Venugopal stating that the party plans to \"throw out the BJP\" following the 2024 Lok Sabha election results. The reorganisation also reflects the party's intent to strengthen its grassroots network and assert a critical role in the upcoming electoral contest. Venugopal is reported to have discussed the party's U.P. strategy separately with Lok Sabha opposition leader Rahul Gandhi and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, although no official confirmation was provided about this meeting.",
