Stepping up its preparations for the Lok Sabha polls, the Congress on January 6 constituted a publicity committee with party treasurer Ajay Maken as convenor and a five member “central war room”.

The publicity committee also has party general secretaries Jairam Ramesh and KC Venugopal along with Congress administration in charge Gurdeep Singh Sappal, media and publicity department head Pawan Khera and the social media chairperson Supriya Shrinate.

The party also constituted a ‘central war room’ for the general elections. The average age of the five members is 39-years signalling a generational shift in the decision-making process of the party.
