Congress Deploys Outside Observers as DCC Contests Heat Up in Erstwhile Adilabad

Observer findings will guide the leadership on district appointments.

Overview

  • AICC named Ajay Singh to oversee Adilabad and Nirmal and Naresh Kumar to cover Komaram Bheem Asifabad and Mancherial, with TPCC appointing organisers including Lakawath Dhanwanthi, Anil Kumar Yadav, Ram Bhoopal, and Gaddam Chandra Sekhar Reddy.
  • Observers are meeting party layers and frontal organisations to gather background and performance feedback before submitting reports for a final decision.
  • Intense lobbying is underway across all four districts, with multiple aspirants in each; contenders in Adilabad include Kandi Srinivas Reddy and former MP Soyam Bapu Rao.
  • Appointments are expected within about a week, and party sources say Mancherial’s K. Surekha and Komaram Bheem Asifabad’s K. Vishwaprasad may be retained, with a tribal leader reportedly favored for Adilabad.
  • The organisational push runs alongside the AICC’s ‘Vote Chori’ signature drive in villages, which directs cadres to collect at least 250 signatures per booth after launches in Gudihathnoor and Boath.
