Cong fast-tracks Hyd DCC reconstitution

Hyderabad: The Congress party has accelerated the reconstitution of the Hyderabad District Congress Committee (DCC) to strengthen its grassroots network ahead of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) elections. PCC observers Mohammad Javeed and Subramanyam, along with Hyderabad DCC president Syed Khalid Saifullah and senior leaders, held consultations with applicants for key posts, including vice-president, general secretary, social media coordinator and spokesperson. The meetings were held with Assembly in-charges from Chandrayangutta, Bahadurpura, Yakutpura, Charminar and Malakpet constituencies. Addressing the media, Khalid Saifullah said the new DCC team would be announced shortly, highlighting that the party has adopted a transparent, consultative and merit-based selection process for the first time. He said the online application process, which closed on January 4, received an overwhelming response from party workers in the Old City, reflecting growing public confidence in the Congress under Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy. The DCC will soon begin ward-level preparations across all 44 divisions for the GHMC polls. The final list of office bearers will be announced after scrutiny, ensuring representation for women, youth, SC, ST, BC and minority communities, in line with AICC guidelines.
