Sources said the UT office bearers who were in the previous body are making hard efforts to retain the party posts. But the High Command wants to change them with induction of new faces in the team with a skill in tackling organizational matters and having good rapport with the masses.
Sources said the outgoing office bearers are approaching senior party leaders in Delhi and other states however the High Command wants a visible change in the office bearers.
Sources said party general secretary who holds key in the party is in constant touch with High Command so for as nomination of office bearers are concerned. Both President and organization general secretary are in favour of retaining some old office bearers while changing some with new faces, sources said. Sources said to ascertain the views of party on new office bearers the High Command had deputed senior National vice president, Avinash Rai Khanna to Jammu yesterday to ascertain the views of senior leaders on election of new office bearers. The party senior leadership discussed the issue in detail as well as name of probable candidates. It has finalized a list to submit the same to High Command for the final approval.
