AKHNOOR, Mar 14: Former Dy Chief Minister and Chairman J&K Congress Campaign Committee Tara Chand has said that for the first time the SCs, STs, OBCs and other oppressed classes have been brought into the centre stage of politics in the country by Rahul Gandhi and asked the weaker sections to fully support the Congress Party to transform the political system in the country.
Addressing a largely attended rally of SCs/STs/OBCs and other weaker sections at village Bhamal today, Tara Chand expressed gratitude to the party leadership including Mallikarjun Kharge for transforming the entire dynamics of the politics of this country by bringing the oppressed sections of the society into the centre stage of the country’ politics and changing the entire political course. The people of weaker sections of society should understand and realize the difference brought about by the latest struggle of Rahul Gandhi and Congress Party for the betterment of the weaker sections, into the main stream politics of the country.
Congress party has lot of contributions towards the participation and upliftment of the Dalits, backward, marginalized communities in every sphere including reservation in services, professional courses and in political sphere of the country right from Parliament, State Legislatures and PRIs.
Tara Chand said that under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi, Congress has started a movement to bring these communities into the centre stage of mainstream politics, It is time for the poor and weaker sections to pick up thread and rally around Congress leadership for the betterment of their future generations.
Terming Modi Guarantees as Election Jumlas, he asked people to trust Congress guarantees to the youth, women, farmers and common people like disbanding Agniveer and holding regular recruitments, filling 30 lalks Centre Govt jobs, one lakh to each woman of poor family per year, doubling the salary of Anganwadi, Asha workers, recruitment in each Panchayat for legal aid to women, MSP, legal guarantee to farmers etc, which will transform the life of common people.
He said BJP has cheated people and gave so many guarantees before 2014 elections but all proved false. Now, they don’t refer to black money, 2 crore jobs, 15 lakh to each account, checking price rise and MSP guarantee. The people lost their identity as a state besides loosing their rights to land and jobs, as result we all are suffering a lot while our future generations suffer more.
