NEW DELHI:
Congress is set to launch a contact initiative which will have party president
Rahul Gandhi and
AICC mandarins directly communicating with its grassroots workers in
Rajasthan in a bid to strengthen the state unit ahead of the assembly polls there.
Christened as "Shakti", the communication bridge between Gandhi and party's booth-level functionaries is expected to be launched before the second week of March, AICC general secretary in-charge of the state Avinash Pande said.
Pande said the initiative, the brainchild of Gandhi himself, is one of the measures the party is taking to bolster its state body by engaging and energizing the workers.
Direct communication with Gandhi would also boost the morale of workers of the party, which is trying to wrest power from the
BJP, Pande added.
The state goes to polls later this year.
