Cong launches ‘One Village, One Night’ campaign for direct outreach to villages

The Congress has launched the ‘One Village, One Night’ programme to ensure direct interaction with villagers to strengthen the party at the panchayat level, said Suman Bharti, president of the District Congress Committee (DCC), in Hamirpur on Friday after returning from the 10-day workshop of the district presidents of the party of northern states at Dharamasla.

He said that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi infused enthusiasm among the party workers and detailed about the future plans for the growth of the party. He announced the launch of the ‘One Village, One Night’ programme in the district and said that he would visit villages to spend a night there, engage with people and apprise them of the policies of the state government and the Congress.

Bharti said that the executive body of the District Congress Committee would be expanded shortly to empower the organisation at the grassroots level. He added that training received during the workshop was shared with the block presidents.

A special campaign would be conducted in every block to bolster the organisation, ensuring that the Congress’ ideology reaches every village, he asserted. He shared the guidelines provided by Rahul Gandhi on the concluding day of the workshop.
