Work hard for revival of Congress in state: Bhakta
Description
PATNA: Newly-appointed Bihar Congress incharge Bhakta Charan Das on Monday said the party would be strengthened in the state as per the wishes of its workers and people. He also asked the state Congress leaders to ghereo Raj Bhavan over the issue of farmers’ agitation. Bhakta, who is on a two-day visit to the state, held a six-hour-long meeting with party workers, present and former legislators and state committee members. Some Congress members expressed unhappiness over distribution of tickets during the recently held assembly elections in the state and demanded organizational changes in the party. Congress’s media cell president H K Verma said Bhakta asked the party members to work together and revive the past glory of Congress in Bihar. Bhakta lashed out at the Centre over the recently enacted three farm laws which have triggered a nationwide farmers’ protest. “Bihar is my karma bhoomi. It is the state from where several movements had been launched,” he said. State Congress president Madan Mohan Jha presented ‘Mithila Paag’ and bouquet to Bhakta.
