Uttarakhand Congress to start statewide Parivartan Yatra from 21st January. Would expose the BJP govt’s misdeeds

As the parliamentary elections are nearing the Congress party in Uttarakhand has also geared up its activities and mass contact programmes in various parts of Uttarakhand in order to accquaint the party workers at the grass roots as well as the general masses about the state government’s failures on various fronts since it came to power in the state about two years ago securing a historic majority of 57 MLAs out of total seventy n to also strengthen its party organisation at the lowest ebb.

The current Congress party organisation is lead by the five time MLA from Chakrata, Garhwal, Uttarakhand and former minister Pritam Singh carrying behind him a transparent image.

In the assembly elections held in 2017 the Congress government led by Harish Rawat suffered badly at the hustings with the then chief minister Rawat himself losing from the two legislative constituencies and his party winning in merely 13 seats, a record low performance in the last eighteen years since the state came into separate existence.

The Congress organisation since then had become almost defunct in the state as majority of its previous MLAs n ministers had joined BJP.

After the replacement of Harish Rawat who’d been elevated as the AICC general secretary, Incharge Assam Congress at the centre, the former minister Pritam Singh was appointed as state president who has after his untiring efforts brought back the Congress party organisation on rails by his enhancing activities and reconstitution of the state organisation till the grass root level.

Today, the Congress party has regained its lost ground n is in a credible position to give a strong fight to the ruling BJP.

Addressing a press conference at the party headquarter in Dehradun today the senior vice president of Uttarakhand Congress Suryakant Dhasmana announced that the state Congress office bearers n activists led by Pritam Singh would commence the Parivartan Yatra from Chakrata legislative assembly’s Hanol village, Jaunsaar Baaver after the rituals in the temple of Mahashu Devta from 21st January onwards.

This political journey named as Parivartan Yatra would be carried in all the districts of Uttarakhand in five stages involving the district n block office bearers and the grass root workers as well. The Yatra would cover all the five Lok Sabha parliamentary constituencies and the assembly constituencies falling under the jurisdictions of these MP seats of Garhwal and Kumaon divisions.

According to Surya Kant Dhasmana the party president Pritam Singh n other office bearers will address hundreds of small n big meetings on the way exposing the present BJP governments misdeeds and failures on various fronts n also enthising the party workers to prepare themselves for the general elections of 2019.

While the main agenda of this Parivartan Yatra is to expose the ill concieved notions n the misdeeds of the ruling BJP government of the state who has failed on all fronts despite having been in power since the last two years it will also help in revitalising and reviving the Congress party organisation at the grass root level in the entire state.

Prominent amongst those present at the press conference with the state Congress vice president Mr. Dhasmana were the party’s desciplinery commitee’s chairman Pramod Kumar Singh, state chairman of the minority department Tahir Ali, State Congress spokesperson Garima Dasoni, Mahesh Joshi, Rajesh Chamoli and Lakhi Ram Bijlwan.
