Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has approved the proposal for the appointment of additional general secretaries and secretaries for the Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) with immediate effect.
The opposition party appointed eight additional general secretaries and 25 secretaries for the MPCC as part of the party’s organisational revamp ahead of the Assembly elections due early next year, party leaders said.
All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary K.C. Venugopal, in a statement, said that the Congress President has approved the proposal to appoint eight additional General Secretaries and 25 Secretaries to the Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee.
Among the new appointees are two women leaders – G. Thiampunia, who has been appointed as an additional General Secretary, and Cosmic Jajo, who has been named a Secretary of the state unit.
The appointments came soon after Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee President and former three-time Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh, along with Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Keisham Meghachandra Singh, visited New Delhi to discuss the party’s preparations for the forthcoming Assembly elections.
Venugopal, in an earlier post on X, said that during the meeting with the Manipur leaders in New Delhi, detailed discussions were held on the party’s strategy and organisational preparedness for the Assembly elections scheduled for early 2027.
“Since 2023, the state has been engulfed in a civil war sparked by the BJP’s politics of hatred. The people of Manipur know that the only way to restore peace is to oust the BJP. For this, they gave a clear indication in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections by electing Congress MPs from both parliamentary constituencies with thumping margins,” the AICC General Secretary had said.
He further claimed that the people of Manipur are eagerly awaiting the Assembly elections to remove what he termed the “divisive and dangerous BJP”, which, according to him, has destroyed the state, and to bring back “a government that heals, listens and builds bridges.”
AICC in-charge for Manipur, Saptagiri Ulaka, was also present at the meeting with the state leaders.
