The launch event on the platform is a press conference by Rahul Gandhi that is currently being broadcast live from Varanasi.
It remains to be seen how popular this channel becomes for the ruling party in India. They are finally trying to use social media to spread across their message.
It would be interesting to see how India Against Corruption would respond to this new development. They have been using the social media actively to promote their campaign for Jan Lok Pal bill which has become a major headache for the Indian government.
