The Madhya Pradesh Congress state executive committee will be dissolved and replaced with a smaller body of 125 office-bearers, down from 208. The move follows an organisational review in Delhi, nearly two years after state president Jitu Patwari appointed 88 vice presidents and general secretaries and 120 secretaries and joint secretaries.
Under the rejig, dual-post holders will be removed and inactive leaders who contributed little to the party will be dropped. Congress leader Sanjay Kamle confirmed the committee will be dissolved next week, with Patwari and state incharge Harish Chaudhary preparing a list of active leaders. District presidents appointed a year ago are unlikely to be included.

Indian Opinion Analysis
The Congress organisation in Madhya Pradesh has been in flux since its 2023 assembly defeat, with factional tensions between loyalists of former chief minister Kamal Nath and state president Jitu Patwari often spilling into public. Shrinking the state executive from 208 to 125 office-bearers is the party's most concrete attempt to enforce discipline since that loss, but it risks alienating local satraps who built their political base through those now-cut posts. The real test will be whether the new committee includes district presidents appointed only a year ago, dropping them suggests Patwari is asserting control over the nomination pipeline. The party's central leadership, through incharge Harish Chaudhary, is effectively enforcing a command structure that sidelines leaders who failed to deliver seats. Patwari's list, expected next week, will reveal whether this rejig is a genuine clean-up or a reshuffle of the same factional allies.
