THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) general secretaries in charge of districts will hand over the probability list of District Congress Committee (DCC) trustees of all the 14 districts, to the party leadership, on Saturday. The general secretaries will conduct a final round of talks with DCC presidents and senior leaders. A maximum of 51 people including trustees and executive members will be incorporated in the 11 DCCs. The numbers will be less for districts such as Idukki, Wayanad and Kasaragod. Around 150 names have been received along with recommendations from various groups. The list will be handed over after discussing and deciding a priority order for the names.
The names are hinted to be announced around February 10, after the KPCC leadership checks the probability list. It is directed that large districts will have a maximum of 15 people as DCC general secretaries. Out of which, two shall be women and two shall be representatives of the SC-ST community. Four people should be included in the youth quota and seven people in the general category. It is in districts like Thiruvananthapuram, that the reorganization raises big challenges. Apart from considering the interests of the MPs from the two parliamentary constituencies, the interests of K Muraleedharan, who has decisive influence in the capital, also needs to be considered while making the list.

KPCC secretaries: Discussion continues
The discussion with the high command in Delhi, to finalize the panel of KPCC secretaries is still going on. The current understanding is to have 40 secretaries. However, the KPCC president had reached Delhi with a probability list consisting of around 200 names. The party reorganization will not happen once Kerala’s returning officer for the organization polls, former deputy chief minister of Karnataka, G Parameswara, takes charge in the state. Even if the reorganization happens, people can seek legal options. Legislative assembly session is going on in Karnataka at the moment. G Parameswara can take charge on any day after February 10. The KPCC’s move aims to somehow conduct the reorganization before the returning officer assumes the office.
