Raipur . The process of organizational change has accelerated in the Chhattisgarh Congress under the Srijan program, but the new list of block presidents has given rise to dissatisfaction within the party. In some places, questions are being raised from the district level to the worker level regarding the reappointment of old faces and the disregard of local equations.

Following the appointment of district presidents, the Congress has also released the list of block presidents. However, as soon as the list was released, signs of disagreement and resentment have started appearing in many districts. Surajpur District President Shashi Singh has written a letter to State Congress President Deepak Baij and registered his objection, while in other districts, dissatisfaction has become a topic of discussion among senior leaders and workers.According to party sources, this list of block presidents was released after the approval of Chhattisgarh in-charge Sachin Pilot. Therefore, the possibility of changes is considered very low, and party workers are refraining from openly commenting.Surajpur District President Shashi Singh recently assumed office in the presence of Deepak Baij and former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel. Shortly thereafter, he wrote a letter expressing his displeasure that his opinion or consent was not sought in the appointment of block presidents. Party leaders say this isn't specific to one district; feedback from several districts is unsatisfactory.

Dissatisfaction is highest in Bilaspur.
Political temperatures are high in Bilaspur district over the list of block presidents. It was claimed that the list was prepared based on observers' reports, but discrepancies are still emerging. Local workers are unhappy with the appointment of Rajendra Dhiwar for the third time in the Sipat block. They say that instead of repeatedly appointing the same person, new leadership should have been given the opportunity.

However, there is no opposition to all appointments. In Masturi, no dissent has been raised so far regarding the appointment of Sarpanch Bhola Sahu as block president.

Allegations of prioritization for the former MLA's family
are also being raised about the appointment of Geetanjali Kaushik, a member of former MLA Siyaram Kaushik's family, as block president in Bilha block. Activists say that only one woman was appointed block president in the district, and even then, preference was given to the MLA's family. They argue that if active women in the organization had been promoted, the Mahila Congress could have strengthened.

Questions have also been raised
about caste balance. An imbalance in caste equations has also emerged in the appointment of block presidents. In both Masturi and Bilha blocks, OBCs have been given responsibility, while in urban and rural Bilaspur, Takhatpur, and Kota, five block presidents have been appointed from the general category. Nowhere in the district has a block president from the Scheduled Caste category been appointed, and only in Belgahna has a leader from the Scheduled Tribe category been given the opportunity. Local leaders

allege that local equations have been ignored.
Local leaders say that not consulting the district presidents' opinions could have repercussions on future organizational functioning. For example, in Juna Bilaspur, considered an area of ​​influence for the Sangh, traditionally Brahmin leadership has been established, but this time a Muslim leader has been appointed block president. In the city block with a majority of Muslim and Christian voters, a Brahmin leader has been appointed.

There is intense debate within the party about these decisions. Everyone is watching to see how this discontent will impact the organization in the coming days.
