Denizens of Hazaribagh gathered in large numbers on Monday in the football stadium in front of St. Columba’s College to take part in the ‘Run for Jharkhand’ programme organised by Jharkhand Sports Welfare Foundation on the occasion of the 150th birth anniversary celebration year of Swami Vivekananda.
AJSU supremo cum ex-Deputy Chief Minister who is the mentor of this foundation was here to increase the enthusiasm of the participants along with his MlA Chandraprakash Choudhary and senior party leaders Tileshwar Sahu, Devdayal Kushwaha, loknath Mahto, Pradeep Prasad, Vikash Rana and others.
Though famous football star Baichung Bhutia failed to come to Hazaribagh which gave some pain to the youths but their enthusiasm was at its peak when the run started at 8 a.m. from the stadium. Sudesh led the run in which thousands took part. The participants passed through Sadanand Road and came on NH33 near Post Office More. From here they proceeded towards Old Bus Stand, District Board Chowk and finally the run ended in front of late Saheed Nirmal Mahto Park.
Earlier in the stadium Sudesh Mahto and his partymen paid their floral tributes on the portrait of Swami Vivekananda. Addressing the gathering, in which denizens of almost all the age, sex, class and society were included, Sudesh Mahto said that Swami Ji has said to wake up and start the journey till you do not get your destination, and AJSU has started a journey to get special status for Jharkhand.
It is on you now that how the dream of AJSU of developed Jharkhand will be fulfilled. Youths have the power to change everything and AJSU believes that the youth of Jharkhand will certainly change its fate, said Sudesh.
After the run talking with mediamen Sudesh K Mahto said that in 2014 parliamentary election AJSU will go alone among the voters. We will fight on all 14 seats and we have already declared the names of in-charges of most of the parliamentary seats. Rest 2-3 seats will also get
in-charges very soon.
