TRS to form basti, divisional panels

Hyderabad: Giving special emphasis on Greater Hyderabad in the organisational elections, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) has decided to constitute basti and divisional committees during the organisational elections this week. TRS working president KT Rama Rao will hold a special meeting with Greater Hyderabad MLAs and party leaders in the first week of September.
Official sources said Greater Hyderabad is being given focus as it covers one crore population and 24 assembly segments of 119 constituencies in the state. TRS MLAs and constituencies incharges, corporators, corporation chairpersons and other leaders have been asked to coordinate while completing setting up the committees.
As the ruling party is starting ‘Jhanda Panduga’ on completing organisational elections from September 2 by constituting committees from village, ward, mandal and district level, KTR held a tele-conference with important leaders and elected representatives on Tuesday.
“The party workers and leaders should begin the ‘organisational panduga’ (festival) by hoisting the party flag at their respective party offices. Since local MLAs are attending party office foundation stone in Delhi, local leadership should take up the responsibility of making the programme a big success,” KTR said.
All the committees should have 51% of people from SC, ST and minority communities. Committees which fail to provide the mandated representation will not be recognised by the party leadership, he said.
