Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee president K Sudhakaran has set February 5 as the deadline for its office-bearers and District Congress Committee (DCC) presidents to hand over the draft list of names for the reorganisation of the party apparatus at the district levels.

The KPCC leadership has given such a strong directive after the reorganisation at the party district-level planned for the last month went awry. The KPCC leadership also asked for the list of block presidents. The leadership also said that there would be changes at the block-level too after the revamping of district and state committees.

Earlier, the KPCC general secretary in-charge of each district was asked to visit their respective district and hold talks with DCC president and senior leaders of the party before preparing the draft list of office-bearers. Though the KPCC office-bearers undertook this exercise, it did not become fruitful as the 'A' and 'I' groups sought more clarity on the revamp. The reorganisation move had then to be abandoned due to lack of support from all quarters.

The KPCC president, while attending the online meeting of office-bearers from New Delhi, also sought the effective implementation of the ongoing Congress unit committee formation and Rs 137 challenge.

 

Membership books ready

 

Meanwhile, the membership books meant for the organisational elections have reached the DCC offices. In each booth, six books will be distributed. Using one book, 25 memberships can be given.

Steps to initiate the distribution of membership books have begun at a time when the prominent groups in the Congress party are complaining that there is delay in undertaking the membership drive. The membership drive will be intensified after the DCC revamp. The appointment of KPCC secretaries may also take place soon.

Since Sudhakaran is currently in New Delhi to attend Parliament session, Opposition Leader in the Assembly VD Satheesan may also join him in the National Capital for holding further talks on party reorganisation.
