“You will see the 2027 script of the Congress’ turnaround in Uttar Pradesh,” said Saharanpur MP Imran Masood after being appointed the party’s working president in the state on Friday.

Masood told PTI that he would work round the clock with renewed vigour to implement decisions that are in the party’s interest. He was attending a wedding when his phone started ringing and congratulatory messages poured in following his appointment.
