The Congress on Tuesday created two new organisational departments -- Professionals Congress and Unorganised Workers Congress -- to reach out to tax-paying professionals, as part of its revival plan.
Party leader Shashi Tharoor who has been appointed as the new chairman of the All India Professionals Congress said the idea is to integrate the educated tax-paying professionals of the country and their aspirations for the future of India into the Congress's political system.
"This is all a part of reviving the party. This is one more step to say the Congress continues to be a vibrant party," he said.
Tharoor said the Congress is looking at people who embody such values and serve them as liberty and freedom, social justice and pluralism in India.
