Former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh will renew his membership of the Congress party on Monday using a newly designed web-based application and launch the online process of becoming a member of the grand old party in the presence of Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken.
Web-based application is the latest in a series of measures that the party has undertaken to boost its membership.
Much on the lines of the BJP, the Congress too has created a phone number where a missed call can be given to register oneself as a member. "When a person calls this number, our local units gets in touch with him. Then they will take his photograph and complete a form and make him a member," a Congress functionary told NDTV.
Earlier, the party would launch special membership drives before holding Congress sessions or a Congress plenary that takes place every 5 years. But the party has now changed the membership rules to make it a continuous process.
