Raipur
The All India Congress Committee (AICC) OBC wing has announced a fresh round of district-level organisational appointments in Chhattisgarh, naming 39 district presidents across the state’s 33 districts to strengthen party structure ahead of upcoming local body and assembly-level political activities.
Appointments issued by AICC leadership
The notification, issued by Anil Jayhind, national president of the AICC OBC department, has divided several districts into urban (city) and rural units, assigning separate presidents for better organisational control.
Party leaders said the move aims to boost booth-level mobilisation, strengthen outreach among OBC communities, and improve ground coordination ahead of future elections.

Objective of the restructuring

By introducing separate city and rural leadership structures, the party hopes to ensure better local responsiveness, stronger mobilisation, and faster execution of organisational strategies.
The state Congress unit is expected to hold district and block-level meetings soon to guide the newly appointed presidents and launch outreach campaigns across Chhattisgarh.
