Mahara expressed confidence that the Congress candidates will register big victories in both Badrinath and Manglaur. He said that the Congress workers should work at booth level and meet every voter personally. He said that the person to person contact programme and corner meetings in streets will prove beneficial for the party.
The president of Mahila Congress, Jyoti Rautela said that in the recently held LS elections the male voters favoured the Congress party more than women voters. She said that the party should focus on the women voters and for it the women workers of Congress party should be involved in the campaign. Rautela added that the senior leaders of the party should be given responsibilities.
The president of Youth Congress Sumittar Bhullar suggested that teams of young workers should be asked to hold corner meetings where the young voters should be informed by unemployment, Agnipath scheme and recruitment scams.
The party’s social media vice president Vishal Maurya said that the party should focus on social media to widen its reach.
