Hyderabad: The Congress party has launched the process for DCC presidents selection across Telangana, as the All India Congress Committee (AICC) set a deadline to complete it by the end of this month.
A group of 22 observers, appointed by the party, arrived in the state on Saturday. They began visiting their assigned districts to gather opinions from grassroots workers, which immediately triggered hectic activity among local Congress ranks. Altogether, the party plans to appoint presidents for 35 District Congress Committees (DCCs) and four corporation-level committees.
In Greater Hyderabad, the party maintains separate DCCs for Hyderabad, Secunderabad, and Khairatabad. Over the next week, observers will tour each district and conduct structured meetings with party cadres. In every Assembly constituency, they will organise two block-wise sessions to collect feedback directly from workers. Additionally, they are recording inputs from current district presidents, MLAs, and other senior leaders.
Observers collect feedback for DCC presidents selection
On Saturday, observers Amin Patel, CP Joshi, and Shaktisinh Gohil held discussions at Gandhi Bhavan with DCC leaders Sameer Vali Ullah (Hyderabad), Anil Kumar Yadav (Secunderabad), and Rohin Reddy (Khairatabad). They also met workers individually to gather personal perspectives.
Former PCC chief V. Hanumantha Rao, GHMC Mayor Vijayalakshmi, and other leaders joined the sessions. Observers clarified that the DCC president post carries significant responsibility and remains open to any eligible applicant. Consequently, many aspiring leaders have started submitting their applications.
After completing their district visits, each observer will prepare a shortlist of three names for every DCC and forward it to the AICC. The central leadership will then announce the final appointments officially.
