The Congress party officially launched its regional campaign for the upcoming 2026 MLC elections with a high-level strategic meeting at the Hubballi Dharwad City Congress (DCC) office.
Under the leadership of A.N. Nataraj Gowda, Chairman of KCDCL and State President of the KPCC Graduate Wing, leaders drafted a comprehensive roadmap to secure the Graduate constituency seats. The session concluded on February 9, 2026, with a clear focus on grassroot-level mobilization.
Booth-Level Strengthening and District Coordination
The core objective of the gathering involved building a robust organizational structure that stretches from individual booths to the district headquarters. Leaders emphasized that winning the Graduate constituency requires precise voter registration and constant engagement with the educated electorate across 25 assembly segments. By activating local workers, the party aims to create a “human chain” of communication that highlights state-level achievements and future promises to graduates.
According to A.N. Nataraj Gowda, the success of the party depends on the collective trust of the people and the hard work of the cadre. During the meeting, he stated that the “Congress’s strength lies in the confidence of the people,” and he expressed total certainty that the path of leadership would lead to a definitive victory in the November polls. The strategy specifically targets 29 taluks where the party seeks to increase its influence through the “Yuva Nidhi” guarantee and other youth-centric policies.
Leadership and the Path to Victory
Nataraj Gowda, a multifaceted leader known for his work in skill development and organic farming initiatives, brought a data-driven approach to the discussion. The committee analyzed previous voting patterns and identified key areas where voter enrollment needs a 15% to 20% boost to ensure a safe margin.
This proactive stance comes nearly ten months ahead of the November 9, 2026, retirement date for sitting MLCs, giving Congress a head start in ground preparations.
Transitioning from planning to action, the DCC office will now host weekly follow-up sessions to monitor the progress of voter registration drives. The enthusiasm among the workers suggests that the “leadership path” is already gaining momentum.
Hubballi remains the central nerve center for the party’s Graduate Wing operations, ensuring that every educated voter is reached before the final electoral rolls are published.
