On the second day of his visit,AICC general secretary Madhusudan Mistry met the office-bearers of the media cell and research cell of Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee (UPCC) in Lucknow and advised them to become active on social media like Twitter,Facebook and Linkedin. He asked them to use social media to stay connected with happenings around the world and also to connect better with the younger generation.

According to sources,as soon as Mistry began his meeting,he asked party spokespersons about their efficiency in computers but found that there were many who were not well versed with the system.
