Congress Launches Goa Social Media Expansion Drive

The Congress party initiated a social media expansion drive in Goa to strengthen its presence and representation in media debates. This 'national talent hunt' seeks young voices for its team, aiming to address issues ignored by mainstream media. The drive is similar to efforts in other election-bound states.

The Congress party has begun an initiative in Goa to enhance its social media influence and bolster its representation in media debates. The campaign, termed a 'national talent hunt,' focuses on attracting young voices to join the party's social media team and serve as national spokespersons.

The program is part of a broader effort that includes similar initiatives in Assam, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat, states anticipating upcoming elections. Speaking at a press conference, Congress national spokesperson Supriya Shrinate criticized the mainstream media for prioritizing agenda-driven topics propagated by the ruling BJP while neglecting critical issues like Delhi's toxic air and unemployment.

Shrinate emphasized the need for Goans to engage with national media, offering Congress a platform to raise regional issues. She also called for more civilised and inclusive debates on television channels.
