attempt to stop factionalism
The biggest challenge for Congress in Uttarakhand is to stop factionalism. Apart from former CM Harish Rawat and Pritam Singh, there is also a major faction of the organization. This time the high command has tried to solve all the equations to prevent factional balance.
The party has tried to prevent factionalism by limiting the number of MLAs in the committee and including leaders from different factions. Only five out of 19 MLAs have got a place in the committee.
Preparation for campaign
The main task of the committee will be to prepare the campaign for the Lok Sabha elections. The committee will go across the state and contact the public and convey the party’s issues to the people.
The committee will also ensure that all sections of people are included in the elections.
