Overview
- Stalin, who convened the panel Saturday, tasked it with visiting all 234 Assembly constituencies to gather unfiltered feedback from party workers.
- He told members to stay neutral, avoid shielding or targeting anyone, and record even criticism directed at his leadership in their notes.
- The review must be done in two-member teams, with no solo meetings, to keep the process consistent and less prone to bias.
- He ordered strict confidentiality so workers can speak freely, warning that sharing field inputs with those being assessed would defeat the exercise.
- Coverage differs on details, with outlets reporting a 36- or 38-member panel and a report due either June 5 with reforms by month-end or July 5 via PTI, following the April 23 defeat that left DMK on 59 seats as Vijay’s TVK formed government.
