The District Congress Committee presidents in Tamil Nadu Congress Committee, who met with the TNCC president K.S. Alagiri to discuss preparations in the lead-up to the Lok Sabha elections in 2024, have reportedly pushed the State leadership to distribute Lok Sabha tickets to ‘new faces’ instead of those from ‘well-known Congress families’ here in Chennai on Monday.
A senior leader said the district presidents spoke about how there is one section that is always carrying the burden of working within the ‘organisation’ and another section that always seems to get elected to State Assembly or the parliament.
“The DCC president were vociferous in voicing their opinion...same old people from well-known Congress families should be overlooked and those who have worked hard in the last 5 years should be given a seat to contest,” said the leader. Many said that parliamentary seats should be distributed in a rotational manner.
