Congress sets 50% quota for DCC chief selection

Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal announced that a minimum of 50% representation from SC, ST, OBC, and minority communities will be ensured in the selection of District Congress Committee (DCC) presidents. The party has already appointed 762 DCC chiefs out of 1,054 districts.

States including Karnataka, Kerala, Assam, West Bengal, and Uttar Pradesh along with several Union Territories are yet to complete the process.
