Maharashtra Congress screening committee
Similarly, Madhusudan Mistry was named as the chairman of the screening committee formed for Maharashtra. Saptagiri Shankar Ulaka, Mansoor Ali Khan and Sirivella Prasad were picked as the other members of the screening committee.
Earlier, as part of preparations for the upcoming Maharashtra assembly elections, Mumbai Congress president Varsha Gaikwad was appointed assembly in-charges in all six parliamentary constituencies in the city. The assembly in-charges was tasked to form the block committees and galvanize and activate the party's ground cadre. In the 2019 assembly elections, the Congress won just four seats out of the total 36 seats, while in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the party opened its account in Mumbai after a decade as Gaikwad wrested the Mumbai North Central parliamentary seat from the BJP.

Jharkhand Congress screening committee
