Congress to organise youth training camp in Modi's Varanasi constituency

Congress will organise a three-day camp in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Lok Sabha constituency Varanasi, in a move to mobilise youths in favour of the party.

"The party is organising a three-day camp in Sarnath, Varanasi from February 28 in which 200 youths will be trained about party's constitution, history and other aspects of the politics," party state president Nirmal Khatri told reporters here.

"The objective of the camp is to prepare energetic team of youths in Modi's constituency," he said.

The youths will also be told about how to deal with rumours and latest techniques related with commoners, he added.

Party's National General Secretary Madhusudan Mistry, retired Justice Haider Abbas and senior party leaders will address the camp.

On the last day of camp a padyatra will be undertaken that would end at Dashashavmedh Ghat.

Replying to a question, Khatri said that party has also proposed a "rail roko, sadak roko" campaign on March 12.

He said all the party leaders, including MPs and MLAs, have been sent letters to participate in the programme.

The party would ensure that common man does not suffer during the protest, Khatri said.
