Assembly polls: Congress focuses on fostering IT cell

Jaipur: With just a few months left for the Assembly elections, Congress in Rajasthan is focusing on strengthening its IT cell to counter BJP on social media platforms.

Congress’s social media often has to face challenges from BJP on a range of matters regarding the Nehru family and Rahul Gandhi.

Rajasthan is going to polls later this year and the party’s state unit needs a strong social media and digital team.
For this, PCC has made a new Social Media and Digital Platform Department.

Sumit Bhagasara, former state president of NSUI and Youth Congress, has been appointed as the Chairman of the Department.

Apart from these, Prateek Singh, Vikram Swami, Sanjeev Rajpurohit, Anupam Sharma and Ranjana Sahu have been made State Coordinators. MLA Danish Abrar was the first Chairman of the Dept. Bhagasara said that office bearers and workers of department will be appointed at district & block levels. Cyber warriors will also be deployed, who will be engaged in promoting flagship schemes of Gehlot govt on social media, besides responding to BJP propaganda, he added.
