Hyderabad: The Congress is quickly forming new district committees and appointing mandal presidents. Reports from recently assigned district in-charges for the 10 former districts are due by July 15.
Party sources say district in-charges are busy visiting areas and meeting local leaders to complete their reports. One in-charge mentioned, “I will visit four more Assembly constituencies in the next two days and aim to finish by July 14 to submit the report.”
In-charges are selecting leaders for district committees and mandal positions by examining suggested names from different areas. If names are deemed suitable, they are approved at the State level. If not, reasons for rejection are noted.
The AICC has instructed PCC leaders to propose committee names by July 15 to strengthen the party and focus on local elections. District in-charges include Challa Vamsi Chand Reddy (Khammam), Sampath Kumar (Nalgonda), Adluri Lakshman (Warangal), Ponnam Prabhakar (Medak), T Jagga Reddy (Hyderabad), Kusuma Kumar (Mahbubnagar), M Anil Yadav (Adilabad), Addanki Dayakar (Karimnagar), Azmatullah Hussaini (Nizamabad), and K Shiv Sena Reddy (Ranga Reddy).
After AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge and general secretary K C Venugopal visited, the PCC is working hard to rebuild at the local level following election losses.
Appointing district in-charges is part of a larger plan to strengthen the Congress in Telangana and get ready for upcoming elections. During a virtual meeting on July 7, the PCC president and AICC State in-charge discussed the need for quick action to establish the party structure from villages to districts.
