Hubballi: The next Dharwad zilla panchayat president will be the one who has been in the Congress party and not a defector, said Dharwad Rural District Congress president Anil Kumar Patil Those who switched from BJP to Congress are not entitled to any post and a whip will be issued for the election to be held on Wednesday, he added.Congress won the no-confidence motion against then ZP president Chaitra Shirur recently. Patil said Congress has significantly enhanced its digital presence on social media platforms to ensure victory in the next Lok Sabha polls.“We have launched a party enrolment programme ‘Indira Nondani Abhiyana’ in which voters and supporters can register their names and join the party,” he said.“The aim of the enrolment programme is to strengthen the party’s roots and connect with the public. People can be part of the party by giving a missed call to 8094767899. Once the caller gives a missed call, then the caller’s name will be registered with us and a link will be sent to the number. By clicking on the link, one can become part of the party’s social media group,” he saidPatil said, they have dropped the idea of registering a case against MP Pralhad Joshi as of now. But the option is still open, he said. Congress had charged that during a protest in Hubballi, Joshi had made a provocative speech against minorities.
