The political affairs committee of Uttarakhand Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) held an online meeting on Thursday and discussed the strategy of the party in the State in disqualification of Rahul Gandhi from Lok Sabha.
Former chief minister Harish Rawat said that the party should focus on local publicity and pamphlets should be made and distributed. He said that the workers should be activated and new members should be made. Rawat said block level should be connected with booth level and the district level spokespersons should be divided in three to four units. The senior leaders should be given responsibility of campaigning in the municipal and panchayat polls. The leader of opposition (LoP) in State assembly Yashpal Arya said that all the senior leaders of the party should meet and there is need to include the general public in the fight. Corner meetings should be held and the Congress workers should hold Chaupals in villages. Arya said that in view of the upcoming municipal election the party should start the preparations. Panel of the candidates should be prepared. Former minister Nav Prabhat emphasised on setting up connections with the party workers.
The former Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president Ganesh Godiyal said the party should take the programme to booth level and expose the hypocrisy of the BJP by holding small meetings. He said that the manner in which the BJP led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is trying to operate the politics of the country has put the democracy in the country in jeopardy. Prakash Joshi said that frontal organisations should be pressed into distributing postcards. MLA Sumit Hridayesh, Sumittar Bhullar, Vaibhav Walia and Ishita Seda also spoke on the occasion.
The PCC president Karan Mahara and in charge of Uttarakhand Congress Devendra Yadav welcomed the suggestions and said that the party organisation would prepare the future strategy based on the suggestions.
