Uttarakhand / Dehradun : High command has decided to contest elections under collective leadership: Pritam Singh
Rejecting the discussion of declaring CM’s face before the assembly elections in Uttarakhand, Congress state president Pritam Singh said that the election will be fought under collective leadership. When Congress comes after winning then the high command will decide who will become the chief minister and who will be the minister. Talking to the media at his residence on Monday, Pritam said that the high command has decided to contest the elections under collective leadership. Pritam termed Delhi CM and Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal’s Doon tour and promises of free electricity as a hoax.
Said that you have no political base in the state. By giving such false inducements, she wants to attract the attention of the public. There is a huge difference in the situation of Uttarakhand and Delhi. Targeting the BJP’s announcement of giving 100 units of electricity, he said that the Energy Minister should first review the financial condition of the Energy Corporation and the revenue situation of the state. Congress also wants that maximum facilities should be provided to every person of the state, but for this, Congress will prepare its manifesto after duly doing the ground study.
In-charge called an emergency meeting of the coordination committee
Seeing the BJP and the Aam Aadmi Party getting active, the Congress also swung into action. State in-charge Devendra Yadav called an emergency meeting of the Coordination Committee. State President Pritam Singh left for Delhi this morning itself. Former CM Harish Rawat is also in Delhi. National Secretary Qazi Nizamuddin has also reached Delhi. The remaining 10 members of the committee are also reaching Delhi. According to sources, the Congress wants to finalize the election strategy. The Congress does not want to maintain suspense for long even regarding the Leader of the Opposition and the new state president. The way the rest of the political parties are active in the state, this delay is hurting the Congress itself.
Letter sent to Sonia-Rahul for selection to Leader of Opposition-Chairman
Former AICC member Yogendra Khanduri demanded Congress National President Sonia Gandhi and former National President Rahul Gandhi to select the Leader of Opposition and State President of Uttarakhand at the earliest. Sending a letter to both, Khanduri said that even a month after the death of Leader of Opposition Indira Hydesh, nothing has been done on the selection of the new Leader of Opposition. Uncomfortable conditions are also being created within the party regarding the post of state president. So a decision should be taken on this at the earliest. This will have a positive effect in the upcoming assembly elections.
