## Congress launches restructuring drive
The Congress party has launched Sanghatana Srujana Abhiyana in Yadgir district of Karnataka to systematically restructure and strengthen its organisation from booth level to district committee.
## Merit replaces political influence
Appointments will prioritise service to party, organisational capability and dedication to cadre work over political recommendations from influential figures, said District Congress Committee President Basareddy Anpur.
## New structure at grassroots level
Congress aims to form a mandal for every ten gram panchayats. A fifteen-member committee will be established under a Congress president in every gram panchayat, ensuring fair representation for women and backward classes.
## Observers to inspect across district
Campaign observer Pundaleekarao and co-observer Sreedevi will inspect organisational activities. Pundaleekarao will hold consultative meetings across Shahapur and Shorapur Assembly constituencies on October thirty.
## Key takeaway

Congress is restructuring its Yadgir district organisation from booth to district level, prioritising service and capability over political recommendations.
