Sonia Gandhi has constituted the 'Manifesto Committee, Outreach Committee, Membership Committee, Programme Implementation Committee, Training and Cadre Development Committee, Panchayati Raj Election Committee, and Media and Communication Advisory Committee of the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee, said a press release from Congress leader KC Venugopal.
The Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections are likely to be held in February-March 2022.
Almost all senior leaders have been accommodated — Salman Khurshid on the Manifesto Committee, PramodTiwari on the Outreach Committee, Rashid Alvi on Media Advisory Committee. (IANS)
