In a strategic move following its significant defeat in the 2024 Maharashtra assembly elections, the Indian National Congress has appointed Harshwardhan Sapkal as the new president of its Maharashtra unit. Sapkal, a Maratha leader from Vidarbha, is recognized for his grassroots organizational skills and close association with Rahul Gandhi. His appointment aims to rejuvenate the party's presence in the state. Concurrently, Vijay Wadettiwar, an OBC leader, has been named the legislative party leader, balancing the party's leadership along caste lines. Both leaders hail from Vidarbha, a region where the Congress seeks to regain its former stronghold.
