Raipur, November 30, 2011
The BJP government is mired in
corruption, has become insensitive towards public problems and is adopting
anti-farmer policies. PCC president Nandkumar Patel levelled this allegation on
Wednesday while he was addressing massive gathering of Congmen during the
party’s district-level workers’ meeting in Balod.
Patel said the BJP never fulfilled its promise made in
its election manifesto regarding disbursal of Rs 270 paddy bonus and free
electricity for 5 HP pumps for irrigation to the farmers. He also held Raman
Singh government for sudden rise in cement prices.
He said the government even remained unmoved in wake
of Balod eye camp incident. “The Health Minister Amar Agrawal too preferred
giving irresponsible statements about the eye victims instead of going on the
spot and taking stock of the situation. This proves government’s impassiveness
towards the issue,” he said demanding from the CM to sack the Health Minister on
moral grounds.
He said the Balod meeting would be a major turnaround
for the party and it would expedite its activities in future more aggressively.
The CLP leader Ravindra Choubey held the BJP’s
policies responsible for the downfall of the state. “The government is
exploiting the commoners and benefitting the industrialists. It is misusing
Central funds and selling dams, river water, agricultural lands as well as mines.
The Congress will fight against this corrupt government from streets to Vidhan
Sabha and would regain power in the state in 2013,” he said.
Former Union Minister Vidya Charan Shukla said the BJP
government had crossed all limits of corruption and its days were numbered.
Ex-Chief Minister Ajit Jogi said the government had
always neglected farmers and hence it was refusing to disburse Rs 270 paddy bonus.
He urged the partymen to unite for 2013 Assembly polls.
The meeting was attended by all the senior party
leaders including state Congress incharge BK Hariprasada, Arvind Netam, Dr Renu
Jogi, Tamradhwaj Sahu, Satyanarayan Sharma, Pratima Chandrakar, Ambika Markam,
Bhajan Singh Nirankari, Shivkumar Daharia, Lekhram Sahu, Arun Vora, Pradeep
Choubey, Ramesh Warlyani, Domendra Bhedia, Abdul Hameed Hayat, Mohan Patel,
Anil Bhedia, Jaswant Cladius, etc.
