Patel in Gharghoda on 4th, Tilda on 7th

To attend block-level Congress workers’ meeting

Raipur, September 02, 2011

The PCC president Nandkumar Patel will tour Gharghoda development block (Raigarh district) on September 4, 2011. He will attend block-level Congress workers meeting in Gharghoda at 2 pm and urge the workers to intensify their campaign to expand the domain of the party. He will also appeal to the workers to expose the BJP government before public by raising the issues like corruption and lawlessness which became major problem in the past eight years.  Notably, the Congress had recently decided to organise workers’ meeting in all the 199 Block Congress Committee (BCC) headquarters after monsoon session of Vidhan Sabha. Patel wants the partymen to take the block-level workers’ conference seriously so that the Congress could win the next Assembly and general elections to be held in 2013 and 2014.

Another objective of Congress workers’ meeting is to inform the partymen about the Centrally-sponsored schemes being operated in the state. Patel will ask the workers to show the real face of the BJP government to the people by informing them how the Central funds are being misused and schemes are not reaching to the end beneficiaries owing to the government’s apathy.

The PCC media incharge Mahendra Chhabra informed that Patel would reach Gharghoda along with block-level presidents and office-bearers of Youth Congress (YC), National Students’ Union of India (NSUI), Sewa Dal, Mahila Congress and Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC).  

Patel will then tour to Tilda and Dharsiva development blocks on September 7 and 8 respectively and attend workers’ meeting there.

Chhabra said the Congress through its frontline organisations as well workers would continuously target the government for not keeping its promise of Rs 270 bonus disbursal to the farmers. Besides, the Congress will take on the BJP government on issues like mining scams, sale of river water and dams to the industrialists, forcible acquisition of agricultural lands for industrialists who have signed agreement to establish power plants, etc.
