Congress is preparing to intensify its political activity in Uttarakhand ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections, with state in-charge Kumari Selja scheduled to tour the state from November 17 to 23.

The proposed visit will begin in the hill region and conclude in Dehradun. Congress plans to use the tour to strengthen its organisation, increase worker participation and review local political issues across several Assembly areas.

Tour to begin from Lohaghat

Selja is scheduled to start her visit from the Lohaghat area of Champawat district on November 17. She will then travel through Pithoragarh, Didihat, Gangolihat, Kapkot, Bageshwar and Kausani in Kumaon.

After completing the Kumaon leg, she is expected to move towards Garhwal. The proposed route includes Tharali, Srinagar and Devprayag before her arrival in Dehradun.

Congress leaders are expected to discuss the condition of the party organisation and the activity of workers in the hill constituencies. Local public issues may also be considered while shaping the party’s strategy for the 2027 election.

The proposed itinerary was disclosed by Rajendra Bhandari, Congress state general secretary (organisation). He said the visit would begin in Champawat and cover the listed areas before reaching Dehradun.

Senior leaders’ meeting planned in Dehradun

Selja is scheduled to reach Dehradun on the evening of November 21. A meeting with senior state leaders and key office-bearers is proposed for November 22.

The meeting is expected to focus on preparations for the 2027 Assembly election, organisational programmes and the party’s upcoming activities against the government. Selja may also share feedback gathered during her visits to the hill areas.

The state leadership is expected to use that feedback while considering the party’s next political and organisational steps. Congress has not yet released the detailed official programme for the tour.

Lok Bhavan march linked to signature campaign

The final day of the proposed visit, November 23, is scheduled to include a Lok Bhavan march. The programme is connected with Congress’s statewide signature campaign.

Congress has alleged corruption against Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami and his ministers as part of its political campaign. The party plans to submit the signatures collected through the campaign to the Governor.

Selja’s proposed presence at the march is intended to give the protest programme greater political prominence. The event will also mark the party’s effort to extend its campaign against the state government beyond internal organisational meetings.

Conclusion

Kumari Selja’s proposed November 17–23 tour will take her through key areas of Kumaon and Garhwal before meetings in Dehradun and a November 23 Lok Bhavan march. Congress is expected to use the visit to review its organisation and prepare its political strategy for the 2027 Assembly election.
