THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: KPCC chief V. M. Sudheeran has called a meeting of the commission members who inquired into the performance of all the 14 districts in the local bodies elections at the KPCC office on Wednesday. AICC general secretary in charge of the state, Deepak Babaria, held talks with Mr Sudheeran, a few KPCC office-bearers and MLAs here on Tuesday.
The performance of Thiruvananthapuram DCC was evaluated on Monday evening. Chief minister Oommen Chandy and home minister Ramesh Chennithala, who attended the meeting, said that though Congress did reasonably well in the local elections, the drubbing it received at the hands of the BJP and the CPM in Thiruvananthapuram had badly hit the party.
The KPCC is also unhappy with the performance of Kollam, Thrissur, Palakkad, Kozhikode and Wayanad DCCs. “Kollam DCC will be revamped as KPCC vice- president V. D. Satheeshan has given a bad review on its performance,” said a senior Congress leader.
A final decision on revamping of DCCs would be taken only after further talks with the AICC leadership.
