Cong launches statewide campaign against govt
Dehradun, Nov. 11 -- The Uttarakhand Pradesh Congress Committee (UKPCC) launched a statewide signature campaign and public awareness drive against the alleged corruption of chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami and his cabinet ministers, party leaders said on Tuesday.
As part of the campaign, PCC president Ganesh Godiyal will lead a foot march to the Raj Bhavan on November 23 to submit the signed petitions to the Governor.
According to a press release issued by the state Congress unit, the campaign is being organised following instructions from the All India Congress Committee (AICC). UKPCC president Ganesh Godiyal said that from November 10 to 18, all district, city, block, and municipal Congress committees across the state will run a special signature campaign targeting CM Dhami and cabinet ministers Rekha Arya, Ganesh Joshi, and Dhan Singh Rawat over corruption allegations. The party will display banners alongside signed pamphlets to highlight the issues among the public.
"All local committees have been directed to submit the signed banners and pamphlets to the state party headquarters by November 20," he said.
On November 23, Congress leaders and workers, led by Godiyal will march from the PCC headquarters to the Raj Bhawan in Dehradun. A delegation will meet the Governor to hand over the signatures and demand action against the government.
Following the march, the party will conduct a public outreach campaign through street plays across all district and city headquarters from November 25 to 30 to expose the alleged wrongdoings of the government.
Godiyal urged all district, city, and block presidents, senior leaders, sitting and former MLAs, 2022 assembly election candidates, and office-bearers of frontal organisations to ensure active participation to make the campaign a success. "It is imperative to hold the BJP government accountable before the public on issues concerning public interest, including rampant corruption. The Congress will continue to raise the voice of the people and fight against the government's policies in a democratic manner," Godiyal said.
The PCC has also asked district and assembly in-charges to coordinate local events and submit press clippings of the coverage to the state headquarters.
State BJP president Mahendra Bhatt dismissed the agitation as a political gimmick by a "disconnected and desperate" Opposition. "Congress has lost all ground in Uttarakhand and is itself the mother of all scams in the state. Instead of doing constructive work, their leaders are merely indulging in negative politics and theatrical campaigns to stay relevant, but Uttarakhand's people trust CM Dhami's transparent governance," he said....
