Congress Plans Protests and Public Outreach Ahead of 2027 Uttarakhand Assembly Election

DEHRADUN: With the 2027 Uttarakhand Assembly election approaching, the Congress has drawn up a month-long programme of protests and public outreach, positioning itself against the BJP government on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, the Ankita Bhandari murder case and alleged land scams. The party’s state in-charge, Kumari Selja, finalised the programme at a meeting with Pradesh Congress Committee office-bearers. The Congress has released its schedule for the next 15 days, with further events to be announced after the organisation completes its planning. “The SIR issue is being debated across the country, and questions are being raised about the functioning of the Election Commission and its commissioners,” Selja said. She said the Congress would take up the issue both nationally and in Uttarakhand. Selja also referred to the Ankita Bhandari murder case, alleging that a person described as a “VIP” in connection with the case had been appointed governor.
