Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The long awaited new Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee will be announced next week, which will have limited members, the AICC general secretary and state incharge Jitendra Singh told Free Press on Friday. Earlier, there were speculations that the list may come in first two days of Navratri but now it will come next week.

Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee was dissolved, which was constituted by former PCC president Kamal Nath, after the new state president Jitu Patwari was appointed. Patwari is running the office with the old members for past nine months.

According to party sources, the former president Nath had formed jumbo committee with more than 4,000 members. However, MPCC has no record about the exact number of committee members. Jitendra Singh added, “We exercised for more than 40 hours last week to finalise the names of committee members.

This time, we are forming small and strong committee on the lines of other states PCC bodies”. The names of vice president, general secretary, secretary and executive members are almost clear, he added.

He said new PCC members would visit their respective districts to find out suitable district Congress committee president. “We want to select District Congress Committee presidents through democratic procedure. We don’t want to give parachute presidents”.
