As per multiple reports, the Congress party will be conducting a nationwide mass awareness programme, titled "Jan Jagran Abhiyan" between November 14 to November 29 to highlight the    "anti-poor" policies of the Centre.

"The people of the country are having a severe and miserable way of life due to policies of the PM Modi led government. In the last two years, we are witnessing a terrible price rise of petrol, diesel and edible oil. INC under the leadership of Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi is fighting against this government" Congress Secretary General KC Venugopal said at a press conference.

"We are holding demonstrations in various parts of the country. We have constituted a committee to highlight the anti-poor policies of the government. We have put forward a plan of action. Congress Working Committee (CWC) has unanimously agreed to this programme" added Venugopal.

• As per Venugopal, the party workers are likely to hold padyatras, public meetings and protests in order to raise the voice of the common public.

He also pointed out that the Winter Session of the  Parliament is likely to witness the fallout of the policies rolled out by the Centre.

This comes at a time when seven states are slated to go for the assembly elections in 2022, namely Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Gujarat, Manipur, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
