In a strategic move following their setback in Madhya Pradesh elections, the Congress party has appointed Jitu Patwari as the new state unit chief, replacing former chief minister Kamal Nath. The decision underscores a focus on the influential Other Backward Classes (OBC) electorate, constituting over 50% of voters in the state. Despite Patwari's recent electoral defeat, the Congress aims for a fresh start ahead of the impending Lok Sabha elections. The party also unveiled key appointments reflecting generational and caste balancing, with Umang Singhar as Legislative Party leader and Hemant Katare to potentially retain Brahmin community support.
