Chennai: Hectic preparations are on by former Union Minister G K Vasan, who broke away from the Congress,and his camp for the launch of their new party on 28 November at Tiruchirappalli, which will be a show of his strength among the supporters of the faction-ridden state unit of the national party.
Prominent leaders of Vasan group, including former MLA Peter Alphonse, are on a whirlwind tour of the state, meeting supporters to finalise organisational set up of the party at the local level ahead of the 28 November meeting.
Vasan, while quiting Congress on 3 November faulting the central observer's role in the state unit, hopes to formally put in place on the day of launch his party units in "at least 25 districts out of 32 in Tamil Nadu," party sources said.
Former Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president and a Vasan loyalist B S Gnanadesikan told PTI the name and flag of the new party were likely to be announced earlier than expected.
Vasan had earlier said the name and flag of the new party will be announced on November 28 at the launch (public) meeting in Tiruchirappalli.
