Dehradun, Nov 10 (PTI) Uttarakhand Congress on Tuesday started a two-week signature campaign against the BJP-led state government for inflicting “political, social and economic oppression” on the people.
Party leaders said that through this campaign, the party intends to draw the attention of the Governor to critical issues, including the Ankita Bhandari murder case, land transfers and employment.
On Tuesday, the campaign was launched from Srinagar, where party leaders called on Congress office-bearers and workers across the state to carry out the campaign in villages, markets, blocks, districts and cities.
“Through this campaign, the public can register their opposition to the government by signing a banner and entering their name and phone number. Through these signatures, we want to draw the attention of the Governor to issues such as shielding the accused in the Ankita Bhandari murder case, selling off the state’s land and jobs, and the corruption allegations against ministers,” state Congress chief Ganesh Godiyal said.
Godiyal urged district and block presidents and Congress office-bearers to compile all the signed documents and send them to Dehradun by November 20, and to ensure enthusiastic participation in this campaign.
In the next phase of the campaign, on November 23, a foot march will be organised from the party office to Raj Bhavan, where state-in-charge Kumari Selja will be present.
As part of the campaign, from November 25 to November 30, the Congress party will organise ‘symbolic courts’ against corruption at all district and metropolitan headquarters across the state, featuring street plays. PTI SPY AMJ
