How Congress will choose Lok Sabha Candidates for 2014 elections Rahul Gandhi Guidelines

Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi has decided to change the method of choosing candidates for Lok Sabha elections 2014

This clearly shows Rahul Gandhi has learned from the AAP party and increases the respect for him who on first day of defeat in assembly elections openly said commented  before press media that  we have to learn from the AAP

Following is the method and ideas which will be implemented by Congress Party as the guidelines set by the Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi

1-
To field a maximum number of fresh faces that are active in their constituencies

2-
Election ticket will be given to candidates who are staying in that city or local area where they are residing

3-
Election ticket will not be given to candidates who shifted their base, home from that particular city or area to the capital or bigger cities

4-
The Congress screening committees have been told to evaluate the performance of sitting Members of Parliament (MPs) before considering them for 2014 tickets.
Screening committee heads to finalize guidelines for candidates

5-
the Congress will finalize candidate selection for about 500 Lok Sabha seats three months ahead in advance i.e. by February end and names will be declared

6-
The screening committees will choose three names for each constituency from two lists
A-prepared by 400 observers from all over India who are observing everything
Over the last six months,

b]
Second list – it will be prepared and sent by the Pradesh Congress Committees (PCCs)

7-
Election ticket will be given to candidate only who can win the election

8-
General Secretaries in-charge and senior party leaders from states will compare the two lists and submit them to the screening committees for scrutinizing the names and send recommendations to the central election committee

9-
As an experiment, candidates for 15 Lok Sabha constituencies in 10 states will be selected through a referendum of district and block level party workers and village pradhans.
Pradhan means village chief or village head

Following are the names of  15 constituencies where candidates will be selected through a referendum method

I.    Dhule - Maharashtra

II.    Aurangabad - Maharashtra

III.    Vadodara - Gujarat

IV.    Bhavnagar - Gujarat

V.    Jhunjhunu - Rajasthan

VII.    Hoshangabad – Madhya Pradesh

VIII.    From Uttar Pradesh

IX.    From Karnataka

X.    From Haryana

XI.    From Bihar

XII.    From West Bengal

XIII.    From Assam

As per media reports if this trial experiment succeeds then the referendum method of selecting candidates will apply in all the forthcoming elections.

The referendum method was first used by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for the Delhi assembly elections
