In a significant move to bolster the Congress party's presence in Rajasthan and Delhi, General Secretary K.C. Venugopal conducted a training camp for District Congress Committee (DCC) Presidents on May 25, 2026, in Ajmer. This initiative aims to deepen grassroots connections and empower local leaders to effectively disseminate the party's message down to the last booth. Venugopal's address at the camp focused on the importance of grassroots engagement in strengthening the party's base.
During the camp, Venugopal remarked on the enthusiasm displayed by the newly appointed DCC Presidents, stating, “The Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan is instilling new vigour in our district-level leadership.” This training is part of a broader strategy to make the Congress party a formidable electoral force, showcasing the leadership's commitment to invigorating the party structure at the grassroots level.

- Focus on Electoral Success — Strengthening the party's rank-and-file is crucial for future elections.
Venugopal also shared insights from party leader Rahul Gandhi's recent criticism of rising fuel prices, highlighting concerns over economic challenges facing the public. Gandhi's comments pointed to the need for the party to connect with voters on pressing issues affecting their daily lives. This focus on economic matters is essential as the Congress party prepares for future electoral challenges.
Additionally, Venugopal chaired the first meeting of the Public Accounts Committee (2026-27) prior to the training camp. He emphasized the need for efficient responses to audits and public expenditure monitoring, noting the backlog in the Audit Para Monitoring System. This reflects the party's commitment to transparency and accountability within the government, aligning with broader electoral strategies.
