Friends of Congress, an independent network of friends & well wishers of Congress connected through Social media, has suggested to Congress party top leadership to join twitter and lead the campaign on social media.
As per them in present scenario, when a section of media is being controlled by those with political or corporate interest, the social media has become all the more relevant. However, Congress has consistently ignored this medium. They believe that by 2019 Lok Sabha polls, relevance of internet and social media would be manifold than what was visible in 2014.
The Congress volunteers & supporters have been disappointed by the last Lok Sabha and several state assembly election results. However, they are most dejected and demotivated becase they feel that till the time the top leaders in the party wont themselves be on twitter, facebook etc. to lead the social media campaign, all efforts and initiatives would remain fruitless. Presently the Congress cyber army is fighting their own battles without any captain to lead them.
They have suggested that, ideally, Rahul Gandhi himself should be active on social media to connect with masses especially the youth. Alternatively, Priyanka Gandhi who has otherwise been refusing to join active politics could take up the responsibility of media and communication and be the voice of the party.
Even if members of Gandhi family are not ready for the task, some other Congress leader who is vocal and ready to connect & interact with congress workers & supporters must head the social media.
