All India Congress Committee to revive Cong in Nagaland

CorrespondentMOKOKCHUNG, FEB 19 (NPN):

As a part of the Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan (SSA) initiative, the All India Congress Committee (AICC) observers are in Nagaland to interact directly with the District Congress Committee (DCC) workers, block units and village-level members across constituencies to identify leadership through consultation and feedback rather than closed-door appointments.
Addressing a press conference on Thursday at the DCC office Mokokchung, KBR Naidu, AICC observer for Mokokchung district, said the main objective of the SSA is to strengthen and revive the Congress organization “across the nation,” beginning at the grass root level.
Naidu further said that the process will begin with the identification of DCC presidents, following which executive committees, political affairs committees and media cells will be constituted. Village Congress Committees will then be formed, creating a structure that runs from district to village base. Naidu, further added that observers would gather inputs not only from party workers but also from the general public.
While party leaders maintained that the initiative does not reflect dissatisfaction with the present leadership, Naidu confirmed that the selection process would be open. “It’s not that we don’t find the present Congress leadership capable. We want to give chances to a very capable person where all people can participate,” he said when asked whether the move signals a leadership review.
Rosy Thomson, general secretary of the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC), described the exercise as part of a broader national restructuring effort spearheaded by Rahul Gandhi, while NPCC Secretary Viseto Natso said the program will cover all constituencies in the state.
The All India Congress Committee (AICC) is on a major organizational overhaul in order to strengthen the Congress party in all levels across the country starting from the grass root.
