The president of Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee (BPCC) and Rajya Sabha MP Dr Akhilesh Prasad Singh met the newly-appointed president of Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee (UPCC) Ajay Rai at the latter’s Lahurabir residence and gave his best wishes for the new responsibility given to Ajay Rai on Monday evening. When the party counterpart from neighbouring state Bihar reached the house of Rai, the latter warmly welcomed the former by presenting bouquets and angavastram as per local tradition.
Later, in their meeting, the two leaders discussed various issues including the political scenario in two states which will play an important role in deciding the fate of parties in upcoming 2024 parliamentary elections.
The BPCC president greeted Ajay Rai for his new responsibility and praised his personality as the latter is known for his strong ground hold and always availability for the workers by sharing their moments of happiness and sorrows.

“I heartily thank Ajay Rai for this responsibility given by the top leadership and convey my best wishes to him. I have full faith that under Rai’s hard work and efficient leadership, the Congress in Uttar Pradesh will achieve historic success in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections to be held in 2024,” he said, while talking to the reporters in an informal chat.
