Tenginkai said that this five-member committee comprising a representative each from booth samiti, woman and OBC and a booth-level assistant, will be set up at the booth level. This samiti will coordinate with aspirants, sort out differences and campaign for the victory of party candidates. “This is a structural change being brought to diversify the functioning of the party and have more party supporters at the grassroots,” he said.
