The competition will take place in all states one by one and the grand finale will be held in Delhi. The national level winners would be appointed as IYC national spokesperson, he said.

The first part of the campaign was launched in 2019. The people selected from this competition will be appointed as spokesperson at the district, state, and national level.

Srinivas said, ''The Congress party is giving opportunities to the youth of the country at every level. Through the 'Young India Ke Bol', the youth's voice of the country will get a political platform, through which they can speak in a democratic manner.
