• Rashi Tribhuvan Mahilang, previously expelled from Congress for 6 years, appointed National Coordinator of AICC Women's Congress.

• Mahilang, former president of Mahasamund Municipality, also faces a rejected bail application in an assault and vandalism case.
• The appointment, appearing in the national executive list, has caused a stir and raised questions among Chhattisgarh Congress leaders about party credibility.
• Local leaders express concern that forgiving rebellion could weaken the party organization, despite Mahilang's Facebook post crediting hard work.
