The Janata Dal (Secular) has announced appointment of party observers in all 30 districts in the State for strengthening the party at the grass roots. The observers have been asked to complete the process by May-end to facilitate announcement of the first list of 150 candidates for the 2018 Assembly elections.
After a meeting at the JD(S) headquarters, party State president H.D. Kumaraswamy said on Monday that units of the party at various levels have been asked to cooperate with the observers and take their suggestions seriously. “This is to send a message to party workers and to the people that the JD(S) believes in decentralisation of power,” he said.
A five-member committee headed by Suresh Babu, MLA, will oversee the functioning of the observers. The party has also decided to form an election campaign committee.
