The Wokha District Congress Committee (DCC) held a meeting on April 9 at the Wokha District Congress Office with the objective of strengthening the party’s presence in the district.
President of the Wokha District Congress Committee, K. Yisanbemo Kikon, shared insights on the party’s high-level policies, with special reference to the recent DCC presidents’ meeting held in New Delhi.
He stated that eight district presidents attended from Nagaland, during which the Wokha DCC president highlighted key grievances most notably, the absence of a Congress Bhavan in the district and the need to open a congress office at 39 and 40 A/Cs.
The president stated that they were urged to intensify efforts at the grassroots level, focussing on membership enrolment drives, and work collectively to strengthen the party’s foundation.
He stated that the discussion also focused on working from henceforth towards ensuring the party’s success in the upcoming elections.
Party members deliberated on strategies to strengthen the Congress in the district.
Former congress candidate Woben Tungoe urged the party members not to simply wait to enjoy the rewards, but should actively participate by sowing the seeds and nurturing the party’s growth.
He encouraged the party to take personal responsibility, address existing shortcomings, and work on increasing enrolment, as many people still support the party and will show their backing if the DCC steps up its efforts. He also urged the members to hold at least one meeting every month and to avoid complacency.
The DCC concluded that electing a Congress MLA in the next term is a top priority, and efforts toward achieving this goal must begin immediately. It was also emphasized that the party will focus on the youth of the district to strengthening the party.
