Jolt to Delhi Congress ! Delhi Parvatiya Congress chief resigns

The Delhi State Congress Committee which is already in doldrums from the point of view of losing its grip on the Delhi electorates which once ruled the capital for fifteen long years prior to AAP’s coming to power is yet again in jeopardy as its Parvatiya Congress president Brijmohan Upreti has resigned from the primary membership of the party alongwith his hundreds of followers today protesting against the stepmotherly and high handed treatment meted out to the party office bearers and cadres belonging to Uttarakhand living in Delhi associated with the Delhi Parvatiya Congress, the party’s important cell for the welfare and well being of the hill people living in Delhi.

In his resignation letter Brijmohan Upreti considered to be the close hand man of the Delhi State Congress Committee President and former union minister Ajay Maken who is out of the counyry for treatment, said that he is tendering his resignation from the post of the president of Delhi Parvatiya Congress and the primary membership of the party in protest against the complete negligence of the workers belonging to Uttarakhand associated with the Congress Party by keeping them aside pre strategically from the central, district and block positions of the party in the recent revamp and not given a single Uttarakhandi a party position from the state executive to the block level thus willingly discarding them at all levels.

In a letter written to the AICC president Rahul Gandhi tendering his resignation as the president of Delhi Parvatiya Congress with copies sent to the General Secretary of All India Congress Committee Ashok Gehlot, General Secretary Incharge Dr. PC Chacko and the DPCC president Ajay Maken, Upreti said that he is resigning from the party president’s post as well as the primary membership of the party in protest against the stepmotherly treatment meted out to the Uttarakhandi origin Congress workers in the state party organisation.

Citing three reasons, Upreti said that during the 2017 Delhi Municipal Corporation elections not a single ticket was allotted to the party worker of Uttarakhandi origin despite assurances.

In the recent party revamp no Uttarakhandi Congress worker was adjusted in the state party organisation in any central, district or block level and the single district president Lakshman Rawat had also been ousted.

While making the state delegates, the Uttarakhandi Congress workers were totally sidelined. He stressed and emphasised that the Delhi Parvatiya Congress workers had always been in the forefront to participate in Delhi Congress’s rallies and Dharnas but when it came to obliging the Congress workers of Delhi Parvatiya Congress they were always sidelined knowingly.

Now enough is enough. This is the insult of the 25 lakh Uttarakhandies living in Delhi, having faith in Congress party, he added an I am tendering resignation frm the ArvatiyaCongress presidentship as well as frm the primary membership of the party.
