The State Congress Committee has expressed hope that the War Room Committee and Narrative Teams will discharge their responsibilities sincerely and keep submitting their reports from time to time to the State Congress Committee office and the central leadership.
As the general elections draw closer, the Congress plans to activate its workers and leaders and assign them various other responsibilities to reach out to the people and make them aware of the “failures” of the BJP Government at the Centre and in the state and raise issues such as unemployment, inflation and communalism.
