The state Congress would prepare a charge-sheet meant to expose the alleged misrule of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-helmed Government in two years. After the charge-sheet is prepared, the party would submit it to the Governor Baby Rani Maurya. The decision to file the charge- sheet was taken at a meeting held in New Delhi on Tuesday during which the state Congress president Pritam Singh, the leader of the Opposition Indira Hridayesh and the general secretary (organisation) Vijay Saraswat talked with the in-charge of the state Congress Anugrah Narayan Singh. The co in- charge of the state Congress Pankaj Dharmani was also present at the meeting.
It is learnt that the former Minister Navprabhat would be the convener of the charge- sheet preparation committee while the former Minister Tilak Raj Behar, MLA Manoj Rawat and senior leaders- Dhirendra Pratap and Rajeshwar Painyuli-would be the members of the committee.
The in-charge of Uttarakhand Congress, Anugrah Narayan Singh said that the Congress had raised many issues of public interest over the past two years, submitted memorandums, complaints and held demonstrations. “However, the State Government has taken scant notice of them. This is why we have decided to submit the charge-sheet against it to the Governor. We would also take the same to the common people of the State,” he added.
Cong files police complaint against Goyal for anti-dalit remarks
Taking a serious note of the alleged derogatory remarks allegedly made by the Mahanagar BJP president Vinay Goyal about the Dalits, the Congress has submitted a complaint at the Kotwali police station on Tuesday. On the day, the Congress activists led by the former State convener of Scheduled Caste Forum Mohan Kala and the president of the women wing of Mahanagar Congress, Kamlesh Raman met the in-charge of Kotwali police station and submitted a complaint against Goyal. In the complaint, the Congress leaders alleged that as per a video now going viral in the social media, Goyal is purportedly heard, saying that Dalits are engaged in criminal activities.
Terming the statement as insult to the Dalit community, the Congress leaders said that it has unmasked the true mind- set of BJP. In the complaint, the Congress leaders demanded a case be registered against Goyal for his derogatory utterances.
