Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday resolved to win the people’s trust and give Uttarakhand a safe, sensitive, and accountable government that puts public interest above all else, as he chaired a meeting with state party leaders in Delhi on Monday to chart a roadmap for the assembly elections in the state due next year.
Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, Congress general secretary (organisation) KC Venugopal, and state in-charge Kumari Selja were among those who attended the meeting at Kharge’s residence. “The Congress Party is strongly fighting for the rights and entitlements of the public from the streets to the Assembly. “The Congress Party is fighting with full strength for the rights and dignity of the people of Uttarakhand. “Congress must win this election. We are confident that under their guidance, Congress will contest the elections with renewed strength.”
Kharge said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) governments at the Centre and in Uttarakhand have betrayed the hopes and aspirations of the state’s people. In a post on X, Kharge said Uttarakhand’s people are demanding accountability and want a change. She said people, tormented by the BJP government’s failures and anti-people policies, have made up their minds for change. Our resolve is clear: to free the state from the BJP’s failed policies and advance the politics of public welfare, development, and accountability,” Selja said. Godiyal told journalists that the central leadership’s focus for the elections is clear.
Today’s meeting was centered on this very objective, where Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, and KC Venugopal engaged in detailed discussions to prepare us with an exhaustive strategy.
The meeting was specifically convened for office bearers of the state unit and key committee heads. Moving forward, Rawat will be present in future meetings as required. Yashpal Arya, the leader of the Opposition in the state assembly, campaign committee chairman Pritam Singh, and election management committee head Harak Singh Rawat also attended the meeting.
