Stressing the need for expanding his party’s reach and consolidating its forces ahead of the 2023 Assembly elections, Sridhar Babu, All India Congress Committee (AICC) secretary and in charge of the Kalyana Karnataka region, said his main focus would be building party structures at grassroots level.
“We will build and consolidate party structures at booth, village, taluk, and district levels. I am here not for a particular leader or group in the party but for all party leaders and cadres. Our objective is to strengthen the Congress and ensure that it will win the maximum number of seats in the region,” Mr. Babu said at a media conference in Kalaburagi party office on Saturday.
When asked whether he had any plans to approach the leaders who had quit Congress in the last Assembly and Lok Sabha elections and try to bring them back to the party fold, Mr. Babu said that he would definitely do it if the local party units and Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee would feel the necessity.
