Overview

• Congress is piloting the 'India National Congress' app in Madhya Pradesh, requiring daily reports with event data, photos and videos, plus updates on protest and rally participation.
• Missed updates will trigger red flags for follow-up, repeated lapses could invite action, and assistants may file entries for presidents who are not tech-savvy.
• The 71 newly appointed district presidents have six months to constitute gram panchayat and ward committees and to appoint block, sector and mandal heads.
• Performance will be formally assessed after three months and again at six months to decide whether each president continues in the role.
• A centralized training for the district chiefs will be held in New Delhi on August 24, with addresses by Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi.
