The objective of this team will be to provide immediate input in urgent situations till the party comes up with a proper response/narrative / counter-narrative.
“Respond promptly in situations of imminent conflict or controversy as per due direction. To provide necessary insights on relevant state issues to both the APCC and AICC,” he said in his order.

On the other hand, several Congress leaders, including a former minister and the former president of the Assam Pradesh Youth Congress, joined the BJP.
