Punjab Youth Congress president Vikramjit Singh Chaudhary here today said they had planned a three-tier programme for the forthcoming Municipal Corporation (MC) elections.
Chaudhary said in the first phase, the Punjab Youth Congress (PYC) activists would distribute membership cards in each Assembly. "Already, 9.80 lakh youths have been enrolled as PYC members. In the next few days, the party would distribute identity cards to these members," he said.
In the second phase, handbills would be distributed door-to-door to apprise the public of the people-oriented programmes and projects of the UPA government, he said. In the last phase, youth activists would hold street-level meetings to boost the morale of the party workers, he said.
Refuting the charge that the party was ignoring its workers, he said the PYC had inducted 37,000 office-bearers at various levels across the state. "The concept of unit management has been introduced in the PYC, under which each office-bearer has been assigned a job with an action plan for every three months, which would be reviewed every month at each level," he said. Admitting that the Punjab Youth Congress had applied for more ticket for the MC polls in Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Patiala and Amritsar, he said the most important criterion for ticket distribution was "winnability" of candidates.
Chaudhary, who is also a member of the party's state-level screening and campaign committee, said his Ludhiana visit was aimed at mobilising the PYC workers to support the party candidates on all seats.
He said to ensure a fair play in the ensuing MC poll, the Congress would get the entire poll process videographed.
