Cong preps up for tribute prog in Jagdalpur on 25th

Raipur, June 19, 2013

Congress has started preparing for tribute programme of its deceased leaders in Jagdalpur on June 25. In this connection, while PCC programme coordinator Bhupesh Baghel has talked to senior leaders over phone, the party general secretary Subhash Sharma has written a letter to state office-bearers and district heads. 

The tribute programme will start at 12 pm and will be attended by office-bearers of PCC, district units, block units, Pradesh Mahila Congress, Youth Congress, NSUI, cell, morchas, departments, elected public representatives and senior leaders.

After a hiatus of one month, the party will restart its activities from June 25 from the tribal region where its leaders were attacked by Maoists when they were heading to Darbha from Sukma under parivartan yatra on May 25, 2013. 

After June 25, the party will also continue its door-to-door campaign – ghar ghar Congress, har ghar Congress that was stopped after May 25 incident. With just four months remaining for assembly elections, the party want to expedite its activities in both urban and rural pockets. 

In his two-day marathon meetings with the office-bearers of PCC, DCCs and BCCs, Mahant tried to convey message to the ruling BJP that the principal opposition would attack it with revived energy in coming days. 

Mahant is reviewing all the issues raised by the party against the government in past one and a half years. The party is framing strategy to raise these issues again at state, district and block levels. 

Meanwhile, the party will prominently highlight May 25 incident in its campaigns and yatras and portray the BJP government as conspirator. 

Since Mahant has hinted that next four months would be crucial for the party, he is planning to rope in national leaders in every major event to uphold the workers’ morale.
