THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Senior Congress leader AK Antony's son Anil K Antony on Thursday said that he has an emotional connection with Congress and would not enter parliamentary politics for the time being. Speaking to Kerala Kaumudi, Anil said that his current mission is to take advantage of the potential of social media and convey the party's message to the people.

It was Anil who led the IT cell formed by the KPCC for the election campaign. However, a Facebook page, named Cyber ​​Congress Facebook, criticised and mocked Anil by stating that his operation was not effective. Reacting to this, Anil said that he wasn't taking the allegations seriously. Anil, who is the national coordinator of AICC's social media, is also in charge of Karnataka and Pondicherry. He came to this field by preparing a political analysis survey ahead of the 2017 Gujarat elections at the behest of the Congress leadership.

"Shashi Tharoor, the party's digital media chairperson, told the KPCC president to use my service in Kerala. I was also there to provide social media services in Kozhikode and Alappuzha districts during the floods of 2018," Anil said.

"My team was able to make good use of the potential of Facebook and WhatsApp in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. The party's messages and the steps to be taken in the elections were conveyed to the scattered supporters. During the Kovid period, the communication system called 'Janashakthi' was effectively implemented. War rooms have been set up in all the 14 districts for the Assembly elections. I was able to attend thousands of family gatherings in nine districts. I also took part in a door-to-door campaign. That is all because of the relationship with the party," he added.
