The Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee UPCC on Saturday appointed Union Law Minister,Salman Khursheed,as chairman of the UP Election Manifesto Committee,Union Coal Minister,Sriprakash Jaiswal,as chairman of the UP Election Campaign Committee and Congress MP from Firozabad,Raj Babbar,as chairman of the UP Election Media Campaign Committee .
Khursheeds appointment as the head of the UP Election Manifesto Committee,clearly indicates the partys vision of bagging minority votes in the 2012 Assembly elections.
Since he is also the Union Minister for Minority Affairs,it would be suitable for him to be updated with the partys pro-minority views in the election manifesto, a source in the UPCC said.
Similarly,the partys choice for Union Coal Minister Jaiswal to head the UP Election Campaign Committee has apparently much to do with his previous tenure as UPCC president.
Both the Union Ministers 8211; Salman and Jaiswal 8211; were president of the UPCC in the past. Jaiswal is known for his organisational skill within the party circle. He knows party workers in every part of the state, another source in the Congress party said.
Party sources felt Congress MP from Firozabad,Raj Babbar,would be a good face for partys election media campaign committee.
Apart from being a politician,he is also a film actor. He would be a good face on the TV channels to represent the party, the source said.
