With the recent exit of key members from the party, the Congress on Saturday announced training programmes for “all leaders and party workers at all levels” to aid them in becoming proficient at the outfit’s ideology.
The political party said on Saturday it will also launch a grassroots level agitation against the Narendra Modi-led government.
Congress general secretary KC Venugopal said: “The party has decided to undertake regular training programme for leaders and workers at all levels. They will be trained in party ideologies, policies, grassroots messaging, election management, failure of current government and countering propaganda.”
The decision was announced after a meeting of the Congress Working Committee (CWC) on Saturday. There will be “regular and continuous training programs” and also a special orientation camp at Sevagram Wardha Ashram from November 12 to 15, he said.
People within the Congress have expressed concern over the exit of leaders such as Jyotiraditya Scindia, Jitin Prasada, Himanta Biswa Sharma, Sushmita Dev and Luizinho Faleiro, those aware of the matter said.
“The CWC is deeply distressed to note the multiple challenges that face the country and the all-round failure of the Modi government in dealing with these challenges” and called upon “all democratic parties and forces to join hands to resolutely oppose the Modi government in order to protect the values on which our country was founded and to advance the causes of the people,” the resolution said.
