Congress workers should not get disheartened by the Bharatiya Janata Party’s attempts to bring down an elected Government. The people of Uttarakhand will give their response to the imposition of President’s Rule in the elections to be held soon, said party leaders and workers at a meet held to deliberate on the present political scenario in Uttarakhand.
Addressing party members at the meet, Rajpur Road MlA Rajkumar said, “The conspiring BJP leaders had tried hard to break as many Congress MlAs as possible away from the Congress and to take them along in its support. However, even in the face of major inducements offered, our members have remained faithful to the party and maintained their strong presence in Congress. The High Court also caused
the BJP conspiracy to fail. The opponents have received the reply to their claims. The floor test ordered by High Court on March 31 will also prove to be in our favour and our opposition will fall flat on its face,” averred the Congress MlA.
Other office bearers and workers of the Congress who expressed their views in the meeting stated that the High Court decision had substantiated the stand of the Congress.
They also came up with a slogan referring to the turncoat party MlAs to the effect that the Congress will bring 18 in response to the nine to defeat the opposition. leader of opposition in the municipal corporation of Dehradun, Neenu Sehgal, party’s municipal councilor Dr Bijendra Pal and other party workers were also among those present in the meeting.
