Congress will start preparations for the Lok Sabha polls soon, Public Works Minister and KPCC working president Satish Jarkiholi said in Belagavi on Tuesday.
“The process of choosing candidates for the Lok Sabha polls will begin soon. A meeting of senior party leaders will be held during the winter session at the Suvarna Soudha in Belagavi. We will discuss all issues related to choosing candidates. All block and district level units will be asked to send three names per constituency. KPCC attaches significant importance to the opinion of the local party units and it will finalise a candidate among those short-listed,” he said.
“The Congress will strive to give equal representation to all communities. All issues, including caste representation, support from the candidate’s community and his popularity will be considered while short-listing candidates,” he said.
