Jharkhand Congress in-charge RPN Singh on Friday introduced the new team of Jharkhand Congress and said that Jharkhand Congress now headed by Rajesh Thakur as State party president has been asked to focus on organisational growth of the party as well as to implement the manifesto of the party.
Singh sounded confident that the future of the party is safe in the hands of Thakur and the new team besides his party will play a proactive role in the alliance Government headed by Hemant Soren where the Congress is a key partner.
Singh who addressed a press conference at the State headquarters of the party in Ranchi said that during the Covid-19 pandemic the departments headed by the Congress ministers have done a good job.
“We have promised loan waiver to farmers that we have executed besides green cards to eight lakh poor families. During the same period the rural development department launched the massive and biggest job provider scheme,” Singh said. Singh said that implementation of the election manifesto will remain a priority for the party.
“We had promised jobs to the youth. In this regard I spoke to the CM who assured me that the government is moving in this direction and very soon there will be huge recruitment for youths,” he said.
But, at the same time, he also aired the difference of the Congress on the issue of revised employment policy of the government, which is being criticized as lopsided and detrimental to a large section of the society.
On the issue of power conditions he expressed his dissatisfaction.
He demanded the Government to resolve the issue of displacement.
He alleged the previous BJP Government snatched land from poor and farmers to create a land bank ostensibly for industrial purposes.
He demanded the Government to return land to the poor if these are not used for industrial development.
