Ahmedabad, Gujarat (India), April 10 (ANI): Rajasthan Congress leader Sachin Pilot asserted that the party will continue to “work hard” in Gujarat and fight “strongly” in the next Gujarat elections and will “strengthen” the workers.
He also reiterated the party’s commitment to walk on the path of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and said that Congress would conduct mass contact programmes.
After the AICC session, Congress MLA Sachin Pilot told ANI on Wednesday, “… The resolution has been outlined (stating that the party will walk on Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s path) and passed by the whole committee to send a message across the country that the Congress will continue to work hard in Gujarat, will fight strongly in the coming elections, and will strengthen the workers… The government here is anti-incumbency… The Congress party will do mass contact programmes and attract voters towards itself, and Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge’s message today will energise workers all over India.”
Earlier on Wednesday, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge appealed to the Congress party workers to stay united and cooperate so that the party can form a government in the next Gujarat elections.
“We are with the poor, minorities, backward, untouchables, Dalit. Congress is standing with people belonging to any religion or caste. If you all cooperate and be with the Congress party, then we will certainly form government in next Gujarat elections,” Kharge said at the AICC session.
He also referred to the speech of party leader Rahul Gandhi.
“Rahul Gandhi explained how PM Modi, BJP and RSS are destroying the country…the ideology of Congress should be taken forward. Any institution should have manpower, mental and economic strength. We have less economic strength but high manpower strength and mental strength,” he said.
He said INDIA bloc parties were united in their opposition to the Waqf legislation.
“We have to remain united. We have to strengthen INDIA bloc,” he added.
Earlier, Congress leader and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP-led government of trying to control institutions.
“Their (RSS) ideology is against the Constitution. They want to end democracy. They want to control all the institutions of India and hand over the country’s money to Ambani, Adani… The Waqf (Amendment) Bill is an attack on the freedom of religion and the Constitution,” he said.
The Congress leader also raised the party’s demand for a caste census in the country and alleged that government does not want to conduct it.
“We took a revolutionary step of caste census in Telangana. A few months before that, I had asked PM Narendra Modi in the Parliament that we should get a caste census done in the country… I wanted to know who had what share in this country and whether this country truly respected the tribal, Dalit, and backward communities. PM Narendra Modi and RSS clearly refused the caste census because they don’t want to reveal the share that minorities get in this country… I told him that we will pass the caste census law in the Parliament right in front of you,” Gandhi said.
