DMK’s reorganisation committee is said to be holding discussions on creating new party wings aimed at attracting young voters, according to party sources.
The move follows a report submitted to the party leadership by a 36-member field study team formed to identify reasons for the party’s Assembly election defeat. The report reportedly levelled a series of allegations against former ministers, district secretaries and candidates.
In response, a reorganisation committee was constituted to propose structural changes. Committee members held consultations with DMK president M.K. Stalin before his departure to London, and the discussions are continuing.
Party functionaries said the panel is considering separate wings for young professionals, including young doctors, engineers, teachers and lawyers. The committee is also expected to recommend political training camps and a greater share of party posts for the younger generation.
With the need to strengthen the party after the T.Ve.K. victory, the DMK is also looking to address discontent among those without positions. Plans include appointing one district secretary for every two constituencies and creating a new post of constituency secretary, with many of these roles intended for youth wing members.
