Why was UP Congress President Ajay Rai removed? He is an Aradhana Brahmin face, has good rapport with Akhilesh Yadav, and will please Muslims.

Ahead of the 2027 assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, the Congress leadership has made a major political move. By removing Ajay Rai from the post of state president and handing over the command to Aradhana Mishra 'Mona', Imran Masood has been appointed as the working president. Devendra Prasad Mahra and Alok Prasad have been assigned the responsibility of vice-presidents. Through these four appointments, Congress has created a new and balanced equation of 'Brahmin-Muslim-OBC-Dalit' in UP.
