Chandigarh : Following their 45-day-long zonal-level meetings across the state, the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee is all set to roll out its intensive worker-level booth-level outreach programme.
Confirming the development, Punjab Congress affairs incharge Asha Kumari said today that riding on the new slogan “Ghar Ghar Congress, Har Ghar Congress”, the Congress leadership right from vice-presidents, general secretaries and district-level office-bearers would be going to booth level to take forward the campaign.
As Punjab affairs incharge, Asha Kumari has been interacting with party workers at district-level meetings to access in-house problems and issue of dissidence.
She claimed that party workers at the grass-roots level were happy with the fact that it was for the first time that a general secretary-level leader from the All-India Congress Committee (AICC) was interacting with them.
“The organisational structure in Punjab is strong, but the frustration in workers stems from not being heard. Now, the workers are happy that the party has started early this time and are being heard. Earlier, the workers were contacted after the tickets were distributed. I am also getting a feel of what a party worker wants in his area,” she said.
While holding a district-level meeting, she said different groups in a state-level unit were due to leaders and not workers. The grass-root-level worker is not undisciplined. The problem stems due to the frustration of not being heard, she asserted.
“For now on, the PPCC will keep its announcements and strategy a guarded secret as the ruling SAD-BJP is taking decisions on the issues being raised by the Congress. We will do it pre-maturely. The party will come out with its promises and announcement close to the elections,” she added.
