Imphal, December 04 2021:
BJP Manipur Pradesh organised a workshop on the topic of 'IT, Social Media and Media' at City Convention here Saturday.
Inaugurating the workshop, CM N Biren Singh stressed the important role of social media in present times.
There is party's low activity on social media, he noted, and emphasised the need for promoting the works taken up the government on social media platforms.
The CM then remarked that when the government's works are uploaded on social media, there seems to be difficulty in making counter comments to the comments posted.
Meanwhile, Congress party is quite active with many accounts opened under different names.
However, if must be noted that the BJP government has never uploaded any false post with regard to its works, he asserted, while expressing hope for the 800-something youth attending the programme to form a WhatsApp group.
In his speech, BJP Manipur in-charge Sambit Patra stressed the need for the party to contest the election at the ground level, by informing the masses about the works undertaken by the ministers and the MLAs, in addition to promoting the same on social media platforms.
BJP Manipur Pradesh A Sharda also emphasised the need to strengthen the party's social media presence, especially with the increasing role played by social media in this IT age.
