In a strategic effort to enhance its organizational framework, the Congress Party has named Anurag Sharma from Baijnath as the new District Congress President for Kangra. This appointment, coming from the politically significant Baijnath area, is perceived as a move towards achieving organizational equilibrium and ensuring regional representation.

Meanwhile, Sunil Viku Bhardwaj, the President of Youth Congress in Kangra District, achieved a remarkable victory in the 2024 organizational elections, garnering over 12,000 votes. His impressive win not only highlights his popularity but also indicates the Congress's strong appeal among the youth demographic.

Political observers are now engaged in discussions regarding how this dynamic duo—Anurag Sharma and Sunil Viku Bhardwaj—will bring renewed vigor and resilience to the Congress organization in Kangra. Both leaders are recognized for their youthful energy and substantial organizational expertise.

It is important to note that while Anurag Sharma, the District Congress President, is from Baijnath, Sunil Viku Bhardwaj represents the Jawali Assembly constituency. Their leadership from distinct regions is seen as a favorable development for achieving organizational balance and growth throughout the district.

As time progresses, it will be interesting to observe how these two young leaders manage the significant political responsibilities in Kangra and work to fortify the Congress at the grassroots level. Both party members and the public are keenly anticipating the impact of this new leadership.
