Capital city of Raipur is crucial for all parties, as it has four Assembly constituencies. Congress party which has been trying to make inroads into these constituencies is now in search of a new district president for the Capital city. Vikas Upadhayay who was holding the post for long, as per the policy of party, has resigned from the post to contest in the polls. Since his resignation, the post is lying vacant.
The Chhattisgarh Pradesh Congress Committee CGPCC is now in search of new District President who should have hold in the district organization as well as can contribute in victory of the candidates fighting the elections from these four seats.
CGPCC is looking for a strong candidate as the selection would definitely affect the results of four important assembly segments. Certainly, it would be a new young face but would be having a strong base in the organization’s grass root level, Congress sources said. A decision regarding the appointment would be made soon, he added.
According to sources the front runners for the coveted post are Pramod Chaubey, Ejaj Dhebar, Girish Dubey, Asif Memon and Arun Bhadra. There is every possibility that a name among them is finalized by the CGPCC Chief, sources said. Pramod Chaubey is though a senior face but party is analyzing all pros and cons and will select a name that could satisfy the all sections, sources said.
