NewsX: Congress rope in professional's to Campaign via Networking sites

  • 5 years ago
Cracking social media has been one of the tough nuts for the 125 year old political party -- Indian National Congress. The party which is one of the oldest political party of the country realises the fact and from the beginning of this year has been pushing social media initiatives. The latest being the With Congress campaign that is looking for volunteers to strengthen its base on social media.

The campaign is a volunteer driven initiative to promote Indian National Congress' initiatives and views to the people of India. If you are interested in this voluntary service then you can fill up the form provided on the site.

Once selected you would receive authentic and validated content that you would require to share and garner a bigger reach. Interestingly the form collects your social media details too such as if you have a Twitter/ Facebook/ Blog, etc. It is quite obvious that the party is looking for supporters who are also quite active on social media and have an influence too. The motive is to gather bigger reach making the netizens as the brand advocates.

Further, in an attempt to prevent Congress leaders from making thoughtless statements against Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and embarrassing the party, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi has banned party leaders from saying anything without an all-clear from two coordinators and that too 24 hours in advance before releasing it to the media.

According to the new diktat from the Gandhi scion, every leader has to get permission from the coordinators-Deepak Amin and SV Ramani. Apparently, anyone flouting the new norm will face action. It is not known whether this would apply to serial comment-makers or twitter whizzes like senior leader Digvijaya Singh.

The war of words between Modi and Congress leaders has often left the party high command embarrassed.

In his recent speeches, Modi, who also heads the BJP campaign committee for 2014 Lok Sabha polls, has been targeting the Congress and the UPA on several issues.
