According to sources it was stated that close to 30 senior Congress members are likely to lose a chance to contest in 2019 polls. The list includes many former minister, MPs and senior leaders in the party and quickly after Rahul taking over AICC president and the party will undergo an overhaul in state leadership since the coming polls are not just prestigious to Congress, but also for the new chief Rahul Gandhi.
Since the coming general election will test the political career of Rahul Gandhi, he wanted to rely on young leaders extensively. So, screening of MLA and MP candidates is not going to be easy, for Congress, this time and the high command is considering the history, winning capability and working ability of each candidate.
Earlier in Congress party, the candidates are always chosen by high
command (Delhi) and state PCC team can only recommend or suggest names. But,
keeping the new way of screening in view, T-PCC also needs to send a calculated
report to high command.
