Thiruvananthapuram: The Congress factions have demanded a total revamp of the party from the grassroots-level instead of a cosmetic surgery.
The committee headed by KPCC vice-president V. D. Satheeshan will hold a meeting on Thursday to plan a policy statement to strengthen the party.
The AICC leadership has invited 50 state leaders to New Delhi to discuss the party affairs next month. The lower rung of the party had no role so far in decision-making which was done by the top leaders.
“Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi would decide on organisational elections and party revamp,” said a senior KPCC spokesperson.
The high command plans to make changes in all the states. The recommendations of the KPCC camp executive held at Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Development Studies (RGIDS) at Neyyar Dam would be incorporated in the policy statement. On Thursday, a draft policy will be prepared which would be discussed in the next KPCC meeting,” said a KPCC general secretary.
Apart from Mr Satheeshan, the other members of the committee are former deputy speaker Palode Ravi, KPCC treasurer Johnson Abraham, KPCC general secretaries P. M. Suresh Babu and Sajeev Joseph and KPCC secretary Mannar Abdul Latheef.
