Mallikarjun Kharge says scrapping MGNREGA was one-sided decision taken by govt without consulting stakeholders including state governments, people and panchayats.
After calling for shunning partisan politics and emphasising projecting a collective resolve to combat terror, Congress shifted its stance & used the CWC resolution to hit out at BJP.
Resolution which also covers ruling dispensation's 'active' participation in attacking minorities, particularly Muslims & Christians, to be adopted at AICC session Wednesday on Modi turf.
At CWC meeting in Modi & Amit Shah's home turf, Kharge accuses BJP-RSS of appropriating Patel's legacy, highlighting the former home minister's dissent against the RSS's ideology.
At the marathon meeting, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge asked how long party will contest state elections on national issues and with the help of national leaders.
The party demanded Women's Reservation Bill be passed in special session of Parliament. Congress president Kharge also emphasised need for leaders to be disciplined to beat BJP in 2024.
Those opposing elections to CWC cited 3 reasons including preparation for assembly polls, while those in favour said there won’t be any year without polls in one state or the other.
Sunday's CWC meet was a perfect forum for Rahul Gandhi to end speculation about his ‘renunciation’ and declare he won't contest the presidential election. But he didn’t say a word.
Proposal was floated at Monday's CWC meeting, and members agreed that it would be ‘good optics’ before the brainstorming session in Udaipur from 13 to 15 May.
In tactical terms, the shirtless protest was worse than a self-goal. Suddenly, the fiascos of the AI Summit were forgotten, and the Youth Congress’s disruption became the issue.
IAF is fine with accepting the aircraft with 'must-haves', even if some other steps remain pending, which may take at least another year, it is learnt.
