Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee revamp to focus on smaller panels

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: KPCC political affairs committee has decided to discard jumbo committees, which more often than not, represented group politics rather than Congress politics in the KPCC.
The new KPCC will have only 51 members, including office bearers.
The lower-levels committees would also be constituted in a similar fashion, KPCC president K Sudhakaran said on Wednesday.
The political affairs committee took the decision to downsize the committees following consultations with senior leaders.
Sudhakaran said Congress will introduce 10% reservation in party posts for women and SC/ST candidates.
The primary agenda of the party, he said, was to invigorate the party machinery.
“Micro-level committees, covering 30-50 houses will be introduced for the first time.
Such committees are being set up to improve the party’s grassroots presence.
The attempt is to develop the party into a semi-cadre one,” Sudhakaran told reporters.
The organisational revamp will be over in two three months, he said.
The political affairs committee meeting has also decided to constitute five zonal committees to probe the reasons for the party’s dismal show in the assembly elections.
Sudhakaran said the party would start a “political school” to impart political education to party workers.
The new KPCC president candidates will be selected to party forums based only on merit and warned strict action against those engaging in anti-party activities.
The party, he said, will soon set up a disciplinary committee to identify and act against misuse of freedom in the party.
Sudhakaran said all office bearers of KPCC, DCC and other committees in the lower rungs will be be full time workers and KPCC will reserve the right to strip anyone of the party position, if he or she is found to be a failure in discharging the duties assigned to them.
Sudhakaran denied rumours that K Muraleedharan MP has skipped the political affairs committee meeting as he was not among the senior leaders whom Sudhakaran had consulted prior to the political affairs committee meeting.
