Madhya Pradesh Congress Plans Smaller State Executive Committee
The Congress party in Madhya Pradesh plans to change its state leadership team.
The current team has 208 office-bearers.
The new team may have about 125 people.
This means many positions will be removed.
Leaders who have not worked actively for the party may be dropped.
People holding two posts may also lose their state committee positions.
District presidents appointed a year ago are not expected to join the new committee.
The change is expected after a review by Congress leaders in Delhi.
