The Delhi unit of the Congress on Wednesday introduced 10 young faces as part of party chief Ajay Maken’s team. Sources said they are to follow ministries and departments of the Kejriwal government and “keep a close watch on its functioning and whether it delivers its promises”.

Approved by party president Sonia Gandhi, the members of this team — all below the age of 39 years — will do research and take the responsibility of guiding the Delhi unit on further political action.

The team includes five women members, three representatives from the Valmiki community and two Muslims.

The party also appointed Sharmistha Mukherjee, daughter of President Pranab Mukherjee, as its chief spokesperson in the national capital.

Maken said the members have rich professional experience and will shadow departments of the AAP government and be proactive in taking up issues rather than just being “reactive”.

Twenty-six-year-old Aman Panwar, advocate and campaign manager of Maken during the Delhi elections, said, “There is a gulf between the promises of the AAP government and their implementation on the ground. Our aim will be to work on an analytical and research-based platform to advise the AAP and ensure that the Kejriwal government fulfils its poll promises.

Panwar is in-charge of key government departments — Power and Law and Justice.

Congress councillor in the South Municipal Corporation Abhishek Dutt — who is also part of the team — said they will research all government decisions and check their implementation in the city.

The team is part of Maken’s efforts to revamp the party and revive its position in the state after it was decimated in the last three elections held in the state.

Other members of the team include former Delhi University Students’ Union president, Ragini Nayak (32), Councillor Amrita Dhawan (29), advocate Chetanya Singh (25) and Anam Hasan (25) among others.
