Barshi (Maharashtra) [India], August 8: With a view to further strengthening the organisational expansion of the All India Kisan Congress, Adv. Jeevandatta Argade of Barshi has been appointed as the In-charge for Eastern Uttar Pradesh (In-charge – Uttar Pradesh East). In the backdrop of the forthcoming Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, this appointment is being considered organisationally significant, and he has been entrusted with the responsibility of making the Kisan Congress organisation in Eastern Uttar Pradesh broader and more effective, with the issues of farmers and agricultural labourers at the centre of its activities.
On the recommendation of former Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Sushilkumar Shinde and Member of Parliament Praniti Shinde, and on the instructions of All India Kisan Congress National President Sukhpal Singh Khaira, Akhilesh Shukla, Organisation In-charge and National Vice-President, has entrusted Adv. Jeevandatta Argade with this important responsibility.
According to the official appointment letter issued by the All India Kisan Congress on 6 August 2026, Adv. Argade will be responsible for organisational activities in Eastern Uttar Pradesh and will work in coordination with the President of the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee as well as the President of the Pradesh Kisan Congress for Eastern Uttar Pradesh. The appointment letter also expresses the expectation that he will contribute towards revitalising the Kisan Congress, making the organisation more active, dynamic and effective, and strengthening the organisational base of the Congress party.
Eastern Uttar Pradesh is regarded as an extremely important region from social, political and agricultural perspectives. Through the Kisan Congress, special emphasis will be placed on providing an organisational platform for issues such as remunerative prices for agricultural produce, rising input and production costs, irrigation facilities, agricultural credit, crop insurance, losses caused by natural calamities, employment-related concerns of agricultural labourers, basic amenities in rural areas, and the various problems faced by small and marginal farmers.
Against the backdrop of the forthcoming Assembly elections, plans will be formulated to strengthen the party organisation in rural areas through continuous interaction with workers at the village, tehsil and district levels, coordination with farmers’ and agricultural labourers’ organisations, study of local issues, public outreach initiatives, farmers’ meetings and various organisational programmes aimed at taking the party’s position to the general public. Emphasis will be placed on developing an organisational working methodology by taking into consideration local issues and regional circumstances.
Adv. Jeevandatta Argade is presently serving as the National Coordinator of the All India Kisan Congress, and he has now been entrusted with the additional and significant responsibility of serving as In-charge for Eastern Uttar Pradesh. It is believed that his experience in organisational coordination, public relations and interaction with workers and citizens on various social issues will be utilised to expand the organisational reach of the Kisan Congress in Eastern Uttar Pradesh.
In particular, as farmers and agricultural labourers form the backbone of the rural economy, emphasis will be placed on undertaking a comprehensive public outreach campaign to understand and effectively raise the economic, social and administrative difficulties connected with their day-to-day lives, rather than viewing their concerns merely from an electoral perspective. The appointment will also place before Argade the challenge of making local workers more active in the organisational process and strengthening the chain of coordination from the village level to the state level.
In the official appointment letter of the All India Kisan Congress, the expectation has been expressed that, under the leadership of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, and Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Argade will contribute towards expanding the ideology of the Congress party and making the Kisan Congress stronger and more dynamic.
A copy of the appointment has also been officially forwarded to the All India Congress Committee In-charge for Uttar Pradesh, the Secretary In-charge for Eastern Uttar Pradesh, the President of the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee, and Ram Aadhar Joseph, President of the Uttar Pradesh Kisan Congress (East).
Against the backdrop of forthcoming political developments and the Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, the Kisan Congress’s decision to assign a separate organisational responsibility for Eastern Uttar Pradesh has drawn particular attention to this appointment. Adv. Jeevandatta Argade’s role is expected to assume significance in the coming period in systematically raising the issues of farmers, agricultural labourers and other stakeholders associated with the agricultural sector in rural areas, strengthening local leadership, and further consolidating the organisational foundation of the Congress in rural Uttar Pradesh.
This appointment of Adv. Jeevandatta Argade as Kisan Congress In-charge for Eastern Uttar Pradesh has been formally confirmed by the All India Kisan Congress, with the responsibility having been entrusted to him by Akhilesh Shukla, Vice-President and Organisation In-charge. The confirmation further establishes Argade’s mandate to strengthen the organisation’s presence and activities across Eastern Uttar Pradesh, particularly around issues concerning farmers and agricultural labourers.
