Launched about three months ago, Rahul’s “Sangathan Punargathan Prakriya” stipulated that party workers would have to face interviews in order to lead the gram panchayat and nyaya panchayat units.
He also ensured proper representation to the backwards and SCs. Party sources said the model may be replicated all over the country.
“Earlier, the party had strong supporters among the upper caste voters. But Rahul wants to ensure representation of almost every caste. So he adopted a new process for the selection of leaders at the grassroots level,” said a Congress leader who attended today’s meeting.
According to sources, Rahul first asked the block level committees to recommend names of workers to lead the party at the nyaya panchayat level. “The party provided a form to the candidates, seeking information, like the history of their association with Congress, their educational qualification, their caste etc. Then Rahul sent teams from Delhi to interview the candidates,” said a party worker from Pindara village. The same process was adopted to select leaders for the village panchayat level committees.
In today’s meeting with the new team, Rahul told the village level leaders to select individuals who can head a group of 50 houses each. “It means one party worker for every 50 houses. His job will be to take the problems of this group of 50 houses before Rahul,” said a party leader. Rahul has constituted a five-member central committee in the constituency, which is supposed to monitor the three committees.
Rahul also attended a function organised by the Baroda Uttar Prdaesh Gramin Bank for the members of self-help groups.
