On Monday, the Chief Minister said steps are being taken in this direction. He, however, refused to divulge the details. But the sources close to him said a number of programmes are on the wings to ensure that the party does well to take on the opposition parties.
The sources also added that if all the plans get the high command’s approval, almost 40 per cent to 45 per cent of the sitting Congress legislators would be denied tickets because of the allegations of largescale corruption, nepotism, inefficiency and poor public image.
The Chief Minister and PCC chief have decided to use the services of three reputed institutions to conduct a public opinion on the party’s winning chances across the state.
The party is likely to kickstart the surveys from June 15.
Similarly, in another 100 constituencies where there is no party representation, opinion polls will be conducted to find people who can be prospective candidates .
The party also decided to revamp the district Congress committees by removing atleast 15 district unit presidents soon.
