The recently appointed president of the Uttarakhand Pradesh Congress Committee and Chakrata MlA Pritam Singh said that his main objective is to strengthen the Congress party in Uttarakhand. He said this while addressing the gathering at a felicitation programme organised in the Congress Bhawan by ex soldiers here on Wednesday.
Expressing his views on the occasion the PCC president thanked the Congress national president Sonia Gandhi and party vice president Rahul Gandhi for selecting him for the post of the PCC president. He said that the Congress party had suffered an unprecedented defeat in the recent Vidhan Sabha elections.
He said that now it was the responsibility of all the Congress to strengthen the position of the party. Stating that Uttarakhand has a considerable population of servicemen and their families, he said that the present time was for connecting as many people as possible with the ideology of the Congress party. The PCC president further said that the membership campaign of the party was continuing at present and that it was the responsibility of all the party’s cells to connect the maximum possible number of people with the political ideology of the Congress party.
Congress Mahanagar head Prithviraj Chauhan said that Singh’s appointment to the post of PCC president had revived energy among the party cadre. The Congress is presently in a grave situation which has also considerably affected the morale of party cadre. In such a time, it becomes the responsibility of all in the party to propagate the ideology of the Congress, he added.
Congress ex servicemen cell president Captain (retd) Balbir Singh Rawat felicitated the PCC president and also expressed his views on the occasion.
