PCC’s New Appointments of Media Coordinators and Spokesperson Kept On Hold
Orders covering 69 party functionaries were withheld amid objections over selections and lobbying.
Hyderabad: The Congress kept on hold the appointment orders of the party’s new media panellists and spokespersons, which were released on Monday.
A day after the official announcement through X social media platform by the party’s state handle, the party clarified, “As per instructions, this order has been kept on hold until further notice.”
On November 9, the party’s MP and media and publicity chairman Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy had released the list of 16 panellists (press briefings and TV debates), four media coordinators, 49 spokespersons, citing endorsement from both AICC chairman, media and publicity department Pawan Khera and PCC president B. Mahesh Kumar Goud.
“Following the release of the list, there were objections to certain categories, citing issues like juniors being provided key positions. Some of them have also privately lobbied for the positions at the AICC level. The list is likely to be revised shortly,” sources said.
