However, this time, the ‘vistaraks’ would apprise the national leaders of the feedback of the people about the performance of party members of parliament (MPS).

They would also take people’s feedback about the functioning of central and state governments.

They would begin their exercise next month and work till the Lok Sabha polls, due in May, 2019. The state assembly polls are due in October 2019.
