Through Indian National Congress
The PCC is responsible for coordinating the activities of the Congress party at the district and block levels, and for organizing campaigns and events to mobilize public support for the party. It also works to build alliances with other political parties and social groups to enhance the party's electoral prospects.
It is elected by card-holding members of the Congress and in turn elects state president and delegates to the All India Congress Committee. Each PCC has a working committee of twenty members, most of whom are appointed by the party president, the leader of the state party, who is chosen by the national president. Those elected as members of the states' legislative assemblies form the Congress Legislature Parties in the various state assemblies.
