Maharashtra: Congress gears up to counter online propaganda

Mumbai | Tuesday | 11th June, 2019

Summary:

As the state gears up for assembly elections later this year, a mixture of propaganda and conjecture against the Congress are doing the rounds on social media. After all, the history favours the Congress, which has played a major role in freedom movement and nation building," said Satyajeet Tambe, president of the Maharashtra State Youth Congress. Youth Congress workers will then be able to counter this propaganda and reach out to people with their version of events. Tambe said the Youth Congress will also focus on 'Super 60' constituencies in the state. Youth Congress workers will run a campaign for these seats, which would also include booth management and use of social media to highlight local issues..
