New Delhi: In the wake of upcoming state assembly polls, the Congress party has planned a training module on nationalism for workers across the country.

According to sources, the training course would focus on important subjects to prepare workers for their political task, prominent among which would be 'nationalism', 'communication' and 'campaign.'

The emphasis is likely to be on the "nationalist credentials" of Congress which spearheaded the freedom struggle, its subsequent record as the ruling party and how "pseudo-nationalism of BJP has to be exposed."

The training was among the top agenda in the recent brainstorming between Congress president Sonia Gandhi and state unit chiefs and legislature party leaders, besides AICC state in-charges.

Taking a dig at BJP, Congress national spokesperson Alok Sharma said that the BJP has always projected "pseudo-nationalism" before the country.

"Right from the time of freedom movement to the present day, Congress has always put the real nationalism in front of the country. Every party has the right to train its workers on an issue. It is very important for the Congress party to expose the pseudo-nationalism of BJP," said Sharma.

It is to be noted that training was among the top agenda in the recent brainstorming between Congress president Sonia Gandhi and state unit chiefs and legislature party leaders, besides AICC state in-charges.
