"Congress president Sonia Gandhi accepted my proposal to dissolve and reconstitute party committees in the state. She has sent an email to continue with the proposal and take appropriate action. We have dissolved BPCC, all district committees and block committees with immediate effect," Bihar Congress president Ashok Chaudhary told reporters.
The BPCC would be reconstituted by December 30 and the dissolved district Congress committees will be formed afresh by November 30 and its block committees by December 15. Till the reconstitution work is completed, the district in-charge of membership campaign will take care of the party's day to day work.
Reacting to questions on the need to reconstitute the committees, Chaudhary said it was being done because the performance of many of its office-bearers was below expectation. Party leaders who have performed well will be recalled in the reconstituted committees.
The Bihar Congress leader said Rahul Gandhi has been invited to lead 'Samajik Sadbhavana March' in Patna on November 23.

The public march will commence from Gandhi Maidan in the heart of the city and will end at Raj Bhavan about six km away, he said.
A 28-member-committee has been formed to oversee preparations for the march. Party legislators, former BPCC presidents, Youth Congress office-bearers and NSUI Bihar members will be part of it, Chaudhary added.
