Congress in select of speakers for public meetings
CHENNAI: Apparently
eyeing 2014 Lok Sabha
polls and in need to rejuvenate
itself at the grassroot
level, Congress in Tamil
Nadu is in the process of
selecting platform speakers
to reach out to the masses in
order to highlight its principles
besides UPA government’s
achievements.
“These platform speakers
will be mainly used for
campaigning activities including
public meetings and
they will highlight government’s
policies and achievements
besides propagating
our principles,” TNCC
president B S Gnanadesikan
told.
Congress, which was
pushed off the ruling saddle
in Tamil Nadu by DMK
in the 1967 Assembly elections,
has since found it
impossible to come back to
power, aligning with either
DMK or AIADMK for survival.
AICC General Secretary
Rahul Gandhi has been
insisting on the need to rejuvenate
Congress at the local
level in the state, asking
supporters to reach out to the
people.
The effort presumably
aimed at the 2014 Lok Sabha
polls comes in the wake of
AIADMK and DMK already
taking steps to emerge victorious
at the hustings. Seeking
to play a larger role at
the national level, AIADMK
supremo and Chief Minister
Jayalalithaa has asked partymen
to work to net all 40
seats (39 in Tamil Nadu and
one in Puducherry) while
DMK’s strained relations
with Congress against the
backdrop of the 2G spectrum
scam has put the future
ties hanging in the balance.
The Congress’ state unit
once boasted of veteran
speakers like late thespian
‘Sivaji’ Ganesan, lyricist
Kannadasan, EVK Sampath,
TN Ananthanayagi, Nellai
Kannan and ‘Tamizharuvi’
Manian (both former members),
who could keep the
crowds spellbound with
their oratorical skills, a key
ingredient for a party’s success
mantra in state politics.
Union Home Minister P
Chidambaram is also considered
a great speaker by
partymen, known for his
chaste Tamil and ability to
convey the most intricate issues
in the simplest terms to
the masses.
In fact, it is an undeniable
fact that DMK managed to
charm the masses through
sheer oratory from the likes
of the late CN Annadurai,
party chief M Karunanidhi
and Sampath himself, who
had later parted ways with
the Dravidian party, using
it as a ladder to cement its
place in the state’s political
history.
On the latest initiative,
Gnanadesikan said the selected
aspirants will be divided
into state and district
platform speakers and imparted
training in March.
“The selection process is
based on one’s voice, tone
and command over the language,”
he said.
An audition had been held
recently at Chennai. Candidates
have been fi nalised
and they will be trained outside
Chennai, he said.
Asked if this was a preparation
for the 2014 Lok
Sabha elections, Gnanadesikan
asserted that the
chosen speakers will popularise
government policies
and achievements and the
Congress’ principles among
people.
