New Delhi: The Political Affairs Committee (PAC) of the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee was reconstituted by the All India Congress Committee (AICC). The committee was entrusted to steer the organisational strategy and execution party's Kerala division.
The new PAC will have 36 members instead of the earlier 21-member panel.

The notable absentees in the reconstituted PAC include former chief minister AK Antony, who shifted from Delhi to Kerala recently and the AICC organisational general secretary KC Venugopal.
