The Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) is planning to make its two-day ‘Chintan Shivir’, scheduled here from July 23, a strict closed-door affair out of bounds for the media.
The event follows a similar exercise held at the national level in Udaipur in Rajasthan in May, aimed at revitalising the party ahead of the Lok Sabha polls in 2024. The party is expected to prepare a calendar explaining its organisational strategy. Senior leaders said that a comprehensive and timely reformation of the party programme was on the cards.
Even in Udaipur, the delegates were asked to deposit their mobile phones in a box kept outside the six halls where discussions were held. They were allowed to take them back only after the deliberations were over. However, press briefings were held at regular intervals at the ‘media centre’ to release a gist of what happened at the sessions. A similar pattern is expected here as well.
