The organisational affairs of the Tripura Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) came under discussion at a high-level meeting held on Monday at the headquarters of the Indian National Congress in New Delhi.

The meeting was attended by All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary KC Venugopal, Tripura Pradesh Congress Committee President Ashish Kumar Saha, Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Birajit Sinha, TPCC in-charge and MP Saptagiri Ulaka, MP Christopher Tilak, along with other senior party leaders.

According to party sources, the leaders reviewed the organisational status of the Congress in Tripura and discussed the party's future political strategy. The meeting also focused on possible organisational restructuring, strengthening the party at the grassroots level, and preparing for upcoming political challenges in the state.

However, the meeting comes at a time when sections of Congress workers have been expressing dissatisfaction over the party's internal functioning. Some grassroots leaders and workers allege that the organisation has become concentrated in the hands of a limited group of leaders, leaving little room for new and capable individuals to emerge within the party.

There are also complaints from within the organisation that the existence of multiple internal factions, reportedly aligned with different party legislators, has weakened the Congress in Tripura. According to these workers, much of the party's energy is being consumed by internal rivalries rather than by efforts to expand its public outreach or strengthen its organisational base.

Some grassroots members further claim that the party's declining public acceptance is linked to its inability to effectively address issues affecting ordinary citizens. They allege that Congress leaders are heard less frequently on matters concerning public welfare, employment, inflation, and other day-to-day issues, reducing the party's visibility among voters.

These criticisms reflect the views of some party workers. The Congress leadership has never publicly responded to these specific concerns.

Political observers believe that the outcome of the New Delhi meeting and any organisational changes that may follow will be closely watched, as the Congress seeks to rebuild its organisational strength and regain political relevance in Tripura.
