Giridih: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said that those who think the party is weak in Jharkhand are wrong.
Addressing virtually the Chintan Shivir of the Congress party which was being held in Madhuban on its final day he said that foundation and organisation of the party are both good in the state. He asked the party leaders to bring more youth into the party and further expand the organisation.
In his message to the cabinet ministers from the Congress party in the Jharkhand government Rahul Gandhi said that it is the workers who have made them ministers and they should not forget that. He asked them to work in a better manner and show the country that good work is being done for the poor and tribals.
Rahul Gandhi said that the workers who have made them ministers have also the power to remove them therefore it is the responsibility of the cabinet ministers and MLAs to make the workers believe that the government belongs to them.
In the Mahagathbandhan government of Jharkhand which is being led by Hemant Soren of JMM there are four ministers from Congress quota including Rameshwar Oraon, Aalamgir Aalam, Banna Gupta and Badal.
Attacking the BJP he said that the party is hitting on such organisations which are responsible for strengthening the states of the country. He said that the concept of the BJP is wrong. He said that Union of States keeps the nation alive but BJP is attacking them and when that happens external forces take its advantage and pointed the example of Chinese intrusion in Ladakh and disturbance being created in Arunachal Pradesh.
He said that despite being small Jharkhand was an important flower of the bouquet and the state has different history and culture where people of different caste and different languages live together however there is a need to protect the history of the state and called upon the partymen to protect the soul and DNA of Jharkhand.
The senior leader said that BJP and RSS want to impose a separate ideology over Jharkhand and want to also influence the ideology of the educational institutions. He said that BJP is trying to take away the land of tribals, threatening the minorities and snatching Mnrega from the poor.
The three day Chintan Shivir of the Congress party in Jharkhand had commenced from February 20 and concluded on February 22.
