New Delhi: Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi has advised his party to "speak positive" as national elections draw closer.
Mr Gandhi, 43, addressed a Congress media conclave, which will last two days.
"Let's get talent from states. Let youth and seniors work together" Mr Gandhi said.
Among those who will address the event are senior ministers like P Chidambaram and Jairam Ramesh.
The party will work on how to effectively sell the accomplishments of the government as it asks voters for a third term in power. Social media guidelines will also be discussed.
In recent weeks, the Congress and the opposition BJP have traded litanies of accusations, many of them on Twitter, and with BJP leader Narendra Modi as the focus. On the weekend, Congress spokesperson Shakeel Ahmed impelled a new controversy by stating that the communal riots of 2002 in Mr Modi's state were responsible for the birth of the Indian Mujahideen, the terror group that has targeted many Indian cities in recent years. "Indian Mujahideen was formed after Gujarat riots, says NIA in its charge sheet. Even now BJP and RSS will not desist from their communal politics?" tweeted Mr Ahmed on Sunday, referring to a chargesheet filed by the National Investigating Agency (NIA) after 10 serial blasts took place at Bodh Gaya in Bihar earlier this month.
The BJP, simmering, responded that the Congress stand was "reprehensible" and that it is politicizing a dangerous terror group.
