Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) today appointed senior leader and ex-MLA Mukesh Sharma as the chief spokesperson of the party.
Sharma will also be the chairman of the Media Committee for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Delhi. He said he would work with renewed vigour for the party.
Sharma had earlier been the chairman of Delhi Government's Khadi Gramodyog Board for several years and was an MLA for four consecutive terms.
He also held the post of Parliamentary Secretary to the Chief Minister of the former Congress Government in Delhi.
Lauding Sharma's experience and his aggressiveness, Delhi Congress President Arvinder Singh Lovely said with this creative partnership, the party will be consolidated further.
"The agitations started against the Aam Aadmi Party, which has spread anarchy in Delhi, and the BJP would now gain further momentum. The old and new leadership of the party was working like a unit towards further strengthening the party," he said.
The Congress had earlier appointed Sharma as a member of the Pradesh Election Committee.
