Hyderabad: TRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao is going for a total revamp of the party. Sources said selection of district presidents and teams is almost over and an announcement is expected any day now.
Along with 31 full-fledged district committees, Mr Rao is also expected to revamp the TRS state body and politburo, the key decision making arm of the party.
“We will soon have district committees, state committee and politburo. Selection of the bodies is about 90 per cent completed. There are a few changes here and there. KCR wants to ensure representation of all sections, especially SCs, STs, BCs and minorities,” a senior TRS leader told DC.
Bigger districts with population above 10 lakh like Hyderabad, Medchal, Ranga Reddy, Nalgonda, Sangareddy, Khammam, Mahbubnagar, Warangal urban and Bhadradri (Kothagudem) will have 24-member committees while smaller districts will have 15-member teams, it is learnt.
“Thanks to 31 districts, about 3,500 party leaders and workers will get party posts. About 10 districts will have BCs as party chiefs. BCs constitute a huge chunk of population and KCR is keen to provide sufficient posts to them. Top posts will be for senior leaders who stood by the party through T-movement,” another senior leader said.
Sources said apart from BCs, Mr Rao is planning to give at least two or three minority leaders district party chief posts while SCs too will get three districts and STs two districts, depending on their population in the districts.
The TRS chief has reportedly obtained reports of suitable candidates for the post of district party chiefs and other office-bearers from various sources to ensure a consensus team in all the districts.
With regard to state body, he will continue to head the party while including seniors in top positions.
