Starting June 28, Uttarakhand Congress leaders will fan out across 10 districts to take the party’s case against the state government directly to voters. The party calls it the first phase of its strategy for the 2027 Assembly elections.
The districts are split into four zones, each with its own lead. Ganesh Godiyal, the state Congress president, takes Pithoragarh, Bageshwar and Champawat. Harak Singh Rawat, chairman of the Election Management Committee, and other senior leaders will cover Rudraprayag, Pauri Garhwal and Chamoli. Pritam Singh has Uttarkashi and Tehri. Karan Mahara, a former state Congress president, leads in Almora and Nainital.
Former Chief Minister Harish Rawat and Leader of Opposition Yashpal Arya are free to join any of the four zones. The party wants both to visit all of them.
Leaders will go from one Assembly segment to the next, speaking with residents and party workers. The aim, the party said, is direct contact with both.
The list of complaints is long: what the party describes as deteriorating education and healthcare, unemployment, corruption, paper leak cases, rising inflation and worsening law and order.
“As the principal opposition party, the Congress has a responsibility to present the ground reality before the people,” Godiyal said. He added that leaders would carry the government’s alleged failures to the public across the state.
The Congress said it is confident the campaign will expose those alleged failures and build momentum for political change before the 2027 elections.
