**Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh – April 13, 2025** – The Indian National Congress is implementing a new strategy to bolster its presence in Andhra Pradesh, according to Congress Working Committee member and former PCC President Gidugu Rudra Raju. Speaking to *The Hindu* following a crucial AICC meeting in Ahmedabad (April 8-9), Mr. Raju highlighted the appointment of AICC observers for each District Congress Committee (DCC) as a key step in this revitalization plan.
This move, he explained, will allow the party leadership to gain a better understanding of grassroots activities. Mr. Raju expressed optimism about the party’s prospects, stating that the Ahmedabad meeting infused new energy into delegates. He emphasized that the finalized strategy, developed with input from senior leaders across the state, aims to restore the Congress party to its former glory in Andhra Pradesh. Mr. Raju anticipates significant gains in upcoming local body elections, citing public dissatisfaction with both the YSRCP and the NDA alliance. The new plan is expected to strengthen DCCs across the state in the coming weeks.
