Congress Sets August 15 Deadline for Booth, Village, Mandal Committees
The Congress party wants to organize its local groups before a special date.
That date is August 15.
A leader named Inagala Venkatram Reddy is in charge of this in Hanumakonda.
He told party members to create small groups called committees.
There are three kinds: booth, village, and mandal committees.
Each mandal committee can have no more than 21 members.
At least 30 out of every 100 members must be women.
The committees must also include people from different communities, such as SCs, STs, OBCs, and minorities.
If a committee does not follow these rules, the party will not approve it.
Mr. Reddy asked everyone to finish the work calmly and to cooperate with local MLAs.
Congress has set an August 15 deadline to complete the formation of Booth, Village and Mandal-level committees, in line with TPCC instructions.
DCC President Inagala Venkatram Reddy reviewed progress at a meeting in Hanumakonda on Wednesday.
Committees must include at least 30 per cent women and fair representation for SCs, STs, OBCs and Minority communities.
Mandal committees can have a maximum of 21 members, with the DCC President nominating five members and appointing one Vice-President in each.
Committees that fail to meet AICC guidelines on women's and social representation will not receive approval.
