New Delhi, June 11. An important meeting of all the party’s general secretaries, state in-charges and State Congress Committee (PCC) presidents was held on Thursday under the chairmanship of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge. In this meeting which lasted for about three hours at Indira Bhawan, many important issues including recent political developments in Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand, role of democratic institutions, inflation, education and organizational strategy were discussed. After the meeting, Congress raised serious questions about the central government and the electoral processes.

Questions raised on Center on matters related to nomination in MP and Jharkhand

Congress general secretary (organisation) KC Venugopal said in a media conference after the meeting that the nomination of Congress leader in Madhya Pradesh Meenakshi Natarajan was rejected only on the ground of non-disclosure of a notice sent by the court. He claimed that there was no FIR, criminal case or charge sheet against Natarajan, yet his nomination was cancelled. Congress termed it as against democratic values ​​and raised questions on fairness.

Questions raised on nomination of BJP supported candidate in Jharkhand

Referring to a case from Jharkhand, Venugopal said the nomination of a BJP-backed corporate candidate was accepted even though his name was allegedly not recorded correctly in the nomination paper. Congress alleges that different criteria are being adopted for different candidates, which raises serious questions on the fairness of the democratic system.

Congress will protest at national level in 2-3 months

Congress announced that a major mass movement would be launched at the national level in the coming two to three months. The party will also campaign on people’s issues at the state, district and local levels. Venugopal said that wherever people are facing difficulties, Congress will stand with their sentiments and fight for their rights.

Rejected speculations of TMC merger

Venugopal also reacted to the ongoing discussions regarding the possible merger of Congress and Trinamool Congress (TMC). He said that all such reports are completely baseless and rumours. He clarified that Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee’s meeting with Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi was part of the general political discussion between the allies of the opposition alliance INDIA and has no connection with any merger.

DearnessStrategy will also be made on issues like NEET

Congress leader Kumari Shailja said that Congress has raised the problems and sufferings of the people most strongly and will continue to raise them in future also. He said that Congress will raise its voice across the country regarding NEET, CBSE, rising inflation and other issues related to common people. The party believes that the government cannot escape accountability on these issues.

If seen, this meeting held under the chairmanship of Mallikarjun Kharge is being considered an important meeting to decide the outline of the upcoming political campaign of Congress. The party has indicated that its struggle will be more aggressive in the coming months on issues of democracy, constitution and public interest. The Congress leadership believes that the role of the opposition can be strengthened only by keeping public issues at the center.
