Tripathi will be the chairman of the communication (media) department and would have a team of six spokesmen, Congress general secretary Madhusudan Mistry declared.
Shiv Pandey would be the in-charge of social media and Tariq Siddiqui would handle the analysis wing, a party release said.
The declaration comes a day after Congress announced the UPCC executive committee comprising 32 vice-presidents, one treasurer, 61 general secretaries, 13 organisation secretaries, 134 secretaries, 45 executive committee members and party leaders in both the houses of the legislatures as two permanent invitees.
