The Congress organised demonstrations at all district headquarters protesting the attack on AICC vice-president Rahul Ganhi allegedly by BJP workers at Banaskantha in Gujarat.
At all protest meetings, party activists showed banners and placards with slogans against the BJP-led Governments at Gujarat and the Centre. Participating in such a rally here, PCC president Prasad Harichandan termed the attack as a cowardice act. He said the BJP has been jealous of the Congress’ growing popularity ahead of Assembly elections in Gujarat.
“The Congress will give a befitting reply to the BJP for its move to smash opposition parties across the country,” he said adding that the party would intensify stir in coming days.
Among others, Dr lalatendu Mohaptra, Sougat Mohanty, Sasmita Behera, Kishore Jena, Bijay Dwibedi, Sudhansu Mohanty, Debashis Bhuyan, Sushant Tripathy, Manas Achyarya, Satyabtrat Nayak and Chinmay Sundar Das participated.
