TDP draws up plan to overhaul district units

By Our Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD, SEPT. 23. The ruling TDP has chalked out a plan to overhaul its district units by weeding out deadwood and infusing new blood. The reconstitution of the district units was discussed by the TDP president and Chief Minister, Mr.N. Chandrababu Naidu, at a meeting with party seniors at NTR Bhavan on Saturday.

Mr. Naidu finalised a list of district coordinators who would hold meetings in their respective districts and submit reports to him on the state of affairs of the party. A detailed schedule for these meetings was finalised and announced later by the party.

The district coordinators would convene meetings in their allotted districts a day before the District Review and Development Committee (DRDC) is scheduled to meet. This arrangement has been finalised to enable coordinators to interact with the Ministers in charge of the districts, MLAs and other senior leaders. The Ministers representing the districts would invariably present, party sources said.

The Chief Minister, addressing the district coordinators, emphasised the need for a detailed analysis of the ``strengths and weaknesses'' of the party in their respective areas. He desired that the district reports contain detailed account of the performance of party functionaries or their shortcomings so that the ``hardworking and committed cadre'' could be promoted and ineffective elements eased out. The party general secretary, Mr.S.M.Lal Jan Basha, the party spokesperson, Mr.R. Chandrasekhar Reddy, were also present.

The DRDCs are scheduled to meet on specified dates between September 24 and October 3. Accordingly, the programme for the district coordinators was chalked out.

Manik Reddy, general secretary: Visakhapatnam; M. Kasi Reddy : East Godavari; K. Kala Venkat Rao, Rajya Sabha member: West Godavari; Immani Rajeswari: Krishna; S.A. Rehman: Guntur; A. Prabhakar Rao, State secretary: Prakasam; Katta Narayanaiah: Nellore; Dr.A. Prabhakar Rao: Chittoor; M.A. Sharief: Anantapur; Areti Kotaiah: Kurnool; S.M. Radhakrishna, State secretary: Mahabubnagar; Tripurana Venkata Ratnam: Ranga Reddy; T.D. Janardhan Rao: Hyderabad; Mohd Ghouse Mohiuddin, minority cell president: Medak; A. Chandulal, politburo member: Nizamabad; Baddam Narsa Reddy, Telugu Rytu president: Karimnagar; C.D. Ravi Kumar: Warangal; Padala Aruna: Khammam; and Kolli Sarada: Nalgonda.
