GUWAHATI, June 2 ? The snail?s pace that the way things are moving the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) is unlikely to reorganise the party units at all levels before the next general election in the State. Sources in the party informed that although the president Brindaban Goswami, who had earlier set six-month deadline in September, 2001 to reorganise the party from the grassroot level, recently assigned all the six general secretaries of the party to expedite the process if reorganisation, the things are not moving at the desired pace.
A highly-placed party source on condition of anonimity informed that only two district-level units of the party could be reconstituted so far much to the worry of the top leader. The regional party has 50 district-level units. The two newly-constituted district units are Dhansiri and Bokakhat.
Meanwhile, about 15 more district-level units have sought dates from the party leadership for sending central party observers to reorganise the units. Still, completion of the reorganisation process by the end of this year has remained a far cry much to the worry of a section of leaders closed to the incumbent president.
Sources informed that at least three of the general secretaries of the party have not reciprocated the urgency shown by the president for completion of the party reorganisation.
The president is contemplating to convene the general house of the party in order to facilatate constitution of a new central executive committee of the party. However, it will not be possible sans the formation of new district committees. As per the constitution of the party each of the district units will have to send seven representatives to the central party committee. The dilly-dallying by a section of senior as well as middle-level party leaders ?smacks of a design? to project the incumbent president as a weak leader incapable of calling the shots in the party, the sources alleged.
