‘We have to convert Congress into cadre-based party’, says D K Shivakumar

Karnataka Congress president D K Shivakumar on Monday stressed on the need to convert his party into a “cadre-based party”, and said that a programme will be launched in the state to achieve this.

Shivakumar, who is also the state’s Deputy Chief Minister, said preparations are on to dissolve all the block units of the Karnataka Congress, aimed at giving opportunity to new faces.

He was speaking at an event organised by the state Congress to commemorate former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru’s death anniversary.
