The Punjab Congress Political Affairs Committee convened a crucial meeting on Thursday to strategize on strengthening the party's organizational structure in the state. The state in-charge, Bhupesh Baghel, stated that six key agendas were discussed, with a focus on micromanagement and grassroots outreach.
Speaking to the media after the meeting, Baghel, emphasizing the need to connect with all sections of society, including farmers, women, youth, and Dalits, announced plans for training programs and the formation of booth committees to take state issues to the ground level. "The Punjab Political Affairs Committee meeting was held today. Six agendas were discussed in this meeting and everyone put forward their views. This is the year to strengthen the organization, so everyone put forward their views in that direction. The Congress party is strong in Punjab, but we need to work on micromanagement," he said. "In the next meeting, we will prepare an agenda on the issues of the Punjab government and take it to the booth level. In this series, there will be a training program and booth committees will also be formed. We will fight for the issues related to every section of the society, including farmers, women, youth and Dalits of Punjab," Baghel said. On March 8, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi addressed party workers in Ahmedabad. He emphasized that the Congress Party must first fulfill its responsibilities before asking people for votes. During the Samvaad program, Rahul Gandhi said, "It has been almost 30 years since we have been in power here. Whenever I come here, there are discussions on Assembly elections of 2007, 2012, 2017, 2022, 2027...But the question is not about elections. The people of Gujarat will not make us win the elections until we fulfil our responsibilities...We should not even ask the people of Gujarat to bring us to power until we fulfil our responsibilities. I guarantee you that the day we do this, the people of Gujarat will give their support to the Congress party." Rahul Gandhi criticised the Congress Party himself and said, "Gujarat is stuck, it is unable to see the way, Gujarat wants to move forward. I am a member of the Congress party and I am saying that the Congress party of Gujarat is unable to show it the way, and I am not speaking with shame, I am not speaking with fear, I want to put this before you whether it is our workers, whether it is Rahul Gandhi, whether it is our general secretary, whether it is our PCC president, we are unable to show the way to Gujarat. Till date, the expectations of Gujarat from us, from me, from our PCC president, from our in-charge in the last 30 years, we are unable to fulfil them." (ANI)
