Madhya Pradesh’s Congress unit is on a mission to revamp its public face. State chief Jitu Patwari unveiled plans for a talent hunt targeting spokespersons, research, and publicity coordinators, with applications open until February 28. The initiative, announced amid a press briefing at the provincial headquarters, responds to the demands of a fast-changing political arena.
Patwari stressed the urgency for party members who are ideologically steadfast, research-oriented, and master communicators capable of media navigation and authentic storytelling. Qualities like public sensitivity and discipline are non-negotiable. The hunt extends from local districts to national stages, promising opportunities for exceptional youth.
Divisional interviews will involve a panel of AICC coordinators, talent committee experts, senior figures, and district heads, culminating in AICC’s final verdict. Patwari framed this as a paradigm shift: opportunities earned through ability, not influence. A clarion call went out to youth and workers.
Opposition leader Umang Singhar hailed it as pivotal for fortifying opposition with facts, nurturing youth to challenge power through study and advocacy. Media chief Mukesh Nayak clarified the selective process yields 20 state-level spokespersons, plus tiered panelists—two per district/division, two nationally, and one for English media.
This program underscores Congress’s commitment to intellectual rigor, positioning it to effectively counter narratives and reconnect with voters in the heartland.
