Ranchi: During his five-day visit to state, newly appointed Congress in-charge K Raju held a meeting on Monday with district presidents, division presidents, and block presidents from the districts of Ramgarh, Hazaribagh, Chatra, and Koderma in the North Chotanagpur division. In the meeting, party workers expressed their concerns and opinions clearly, discussing topics such as the 20-point program, compensation for displaced people, the condition of the organization in blocks, and maintaining harmony between the government and the party.
Addressing the meeting, K. Raju said, “The respect of Congress workers is the respect of the party. All legislators and ministers must respect the workers, because if there are no workers, there will be no legislators or ministers.” He further stated that workers who work tirelessly for the organization are the true strength of the party. He also directed all ministers to conduct district tours at least once a month. “There will be reviews for everyone, and the workers will also be reviewed. Developing leadership among women, youth, and SC-ST communities is a priority. When leadership is developed, the organization will be strengthened,” Raju added.
