TPCC likely to get four working presidents as Congress weighs social balance
One each from Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, minorities and forward castes likely to be made working presidents
The Congress high command in Telangana is reportedly set to restructure the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) leadership, with the appointment of four working presidents by the end of the month. This move is part of a broader effort to strengthen the organization while maintaining a social and political balance, with the approval of the All India Congress Committee (AICC).
The discussions have focused on ensuring representation for key social groups, including Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, minorities, and forward castes. The process involves examining various names with consideration of caste, regional, and political factors, as well as the leaders' organizational track records. The current TPCC president, B. Mahesh Kumar Goud, is one of the senior leaders who attended the Coordination Committee meeting in New Delhi.
The exercise is expected to result in a leaner structure with four working presidents, with potential candidates from different social groups being considered. The Congress is also expected to fill the vacant post of TPCC Campaign Committee chairman, with Jagga Reddy being widely tipped for the position. Additionally, key legislative positions, such as Deputy Speaker and Chief Whip in the Telangana Assembly, are also under consideration.
