Keeping in mind the upcoming Assembly polls in States, the Congress on Sunday revamped its youth wing retaining 18 from the old committee and inducting 20 new office bearers chosen from different States.
The national team of Indian Youth Congress (IYC) that was approved by Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi consists of “high-performers” chosen from the elected committee of State and district Youth Congress units all over the country.
The 38-member committee has six general secretaries representing Maharashtra, West Bengal, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala, Karnataka and Eastern Uttar Pradesh. There are 32 secretaries representing several States. The Congress plans to utilize its youth wing's energy in the upcoming election in Punjab, UP, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur. “Keeping in view the forthcoming elections in various states it is believed that this committee has a crucial role to play,” the IYC said in a statement.
