Patna: The Congress has made the biggest disclosure of its election team before the announcement of Bihar Assembly Elections 2025. The party has expressed confidence in experienced leaders and appointed Ashok Gehlot, Bhupesh Baghel and Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary as senior election supervisors. Both Gehlot and Baghel have been the former Chief Minister of their respective states (Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh), while Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary has been the state president of West Bengal Congress and leader of the Congress Parliamentary Party in the Lok Sabha. The Congress has given a clear message, this time the election will be fought with full experience, not in light.
41 District Supervisor also in the fray, Congress’s ‘Ground Network’ ready

Names like Srinivas, Vikrant Bhuria, Irfan Ansari and Anil Chopra are included. The job of these leaders will be to strengthen the hold of the organization up to the booth level in the districts, prepare reports of local equations and give ground opinion in the selection of candidates.
Congress’s role in the grand alliance
Bihar is part of the Grand Alliance (Grand Alliance) with the VIP party of Congress, RJD, CPI-ML and Mukesh Sahni. However, talks are going on regarding seat sharing. The Congress wants that this time it should get more seats than last time and be given a chance to fight in some urban areas, where the traditional vote bank of the party is present.
Boost got boost from Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’
Recently, Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ has filled new energy among Congress workers. In this visit, Rahul directly targeted the BJP and the Election Commission. He said that “When the voter disappears from the list, the foundation of democracy is shaken.” A huge crowd gathered in this visit and the Congress considered it the beginning of its revival. Now the party wants this enthusiasm to be converted into a vote.
Weak performance in 2020, now the challenge of improvement
In the 2020 Bihar assembly elections, the Congress had bets on 70 seats, but won only 19 seats. The vote share was also just 9.48%. The goal of the Congress is that this time the election of this time should be fought firmly on certain seats on its own.
Congress’s message clear
The role of the Congress in Bihar politics was constantly being reduced, but now the party is once again entering the field with old faces and new strategy. The trio of Gehlot-Baghel-Adhir has administrative and political experience and this is also the biggest hope of the Congress.
