Congress to inject new blood through new DCC committees

Karimnagar: After facing disaster in the Assembly elections, the high commands of All India Congress Committee (AICC) and Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC), are now focusing their concentration to strengthen the party from village-level by injecting new blood into the party with the formation of new separate committees to each district after dissolving the existing ones.

In a meeting held recently, the party leadership decided to form new separate committees for Karimnagar, Rajanna Sircilla, Peddapalli and Jagtial districts but later postponed their decision in view of the ensuing panchayat elections.

Following TPCC orders, senior leaders of the erstwhile Karimnagar district had prepared a list of members to be accommodated in the committees and handed over it to the party high command.

According to sources, Adluri Laxman Rao and Juvvadi Narsing Rao are in the race for Jagtial District Congress Committee (DCC) president post; Nagula Satyanarayana is vying for Rajanna Sircila DCC president post; and Katakam Satyanarayana is in race for united Karimnagar district DCC president post. But K Satyanarayana is expecting DCC president post of Karimnagar district instead of Sircilla.

For Peddapalli DCC president post, Congress senior leaders Erla Kumaraiah, Chintakuntla Vijayaramana Rao and Cheti Dharmaiah are in the race. But main competitions is between Erla Kumaraiah and Ch Vijayaramana Rao.

Severe competition is there for Karimnagar DCC president post. Former MLA and present DCC president Katakam Satyanarayana want to continue his position as the president, by claiming that he was rendering best services for the party and strived hard to strengthen it in the erstwhile Karimnagar district.

Meanwhile, former Mayor D Shankar, Padi Kaushik Reddy, P Ramesh, B Sriram Chakrawarthi and Karra Rajashekar also vying for Karimnagar DCC president post.The suggestions and recommendations of TPCC working president and former MP Ponnam Prabhakar and former Ministers T Jeevan Reddy and D Sridhar Babu are going to be crucial in the appointment of DCC president posts and in the formation of committees in the four districts.

Also, the suggestions of other senior leaders like Arepalli Mohan, KK Mahender Reddy, Chalmada Laxminarasimha Rao, Dr Medipalli Sathyam and Algireddy Praveen Reddy also may play a vital role in the selections.
