"If someone wants to join Congress, then we will find out about his image and then include him in Congress," Das said.

The AICC in-charge has proposed to undertake foot march in several districts, including Vaishali, Muzaffarpur, Chapra, Siwan, East and West Champaran, Ara, Buxar, Gaya, Jehanabad, Arwal, etc, during his 13-day stay in the state.
