The Congress party has asked its media coordinators and spokespersons to become pro-active and aggressive highlighting the various schemes of the Hemant Soren government, of which Congress is a part.

State Congress in-charge RPN Singh today gave mantra to media coordinators and spokespersons. The briefing was attended by state Congress president and finance minister Dr Rameshwar Oraon, Congress legislative party leader and parliamentary affairs minister Alamgir Alam, agriculture minister Badal, health minister Banna Gupta and others. Congress party working president and chief spokesperson Rajesh Thakur who too was present on the occasion informed the senior leaders about the functioning of media coordinators.

Singh said, “Due to workers’ efforts a coalition government of which Congress too is part has been formed at State. The formation of Congress government in the State has given more challenge and opportunity for media coordinators and spokespersons.”

As media coordinators and spokespersons are eyes and ears of any political party, their tasks become more important when the party is in government, said Singh.

Singh asked the media panellists to highlight the various schemes of the State government so that people know about government works. 

Singh also stressed on weekly meetings of media coordinators and spokespersons where they can discuss the current issues.
