Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president Arvinder Singh Lovely on Saturday claimed that no force can crush the Congress party as its booth-level workers were more active and efficient to solve the problems of the people than the MLAs of other parties. He alleged they were not available to address issues faced by the people, who elected them to power.
Lovely said that despite not being in power at both the Centre and in Delhi for the past 10 years, the Congress workers held their ground as they have the capacity, drive and dynamism to bounce back.
He said that it was time for the Congress workers to plan a strategy to strengthen the party at the booth-level, and go to people for understanding their problems and find solutions, and expose the failures of the BJP MPs and to gear up for upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
Lovely on Saturday addressed Congress workers of North West and South Delhi Parliamentary constituencies at Swaroop Nagar and Madangir respectively for the Workers’ Convention to be held at Geeta Colony Ramlila ground in East Delhi on February 3.
The convention will be addressed by party president Mallikarjun Kharge.
Lovely further accused the BJP MPs of vanishing from their constituencies after winning the Lok Sabha elections and said that the saffron party is to be blamed for the same for picking such candidates.
He also hit-out at the ruling dispensation at the centre alleging it had led the country to a foreign debt of Rs 200 lakh crore till December 2023, which was in addition to the internal debt burden rising three fold, imposing a heavy financial burden on every Indian.
Lovely said that the IMF (International Monetary Fund) had warned that the global economy was heading for its weakest growth since 1990, which will severely impact the country’s GDP growth as well.
Besides Lovely, prominent other leaders who participated in the meetings were ex-Congress MPs including Krishna Tirath, Ramesh Kumar, Dr Udit Raj, Congress Working Committee member and AICC In-charge Devendra Yadav, former Delhi Ministers Haroon Yusuf and Rajkumar Chauhan and former Congress MLAs including Surender Kumar, Charan Singh Kandera, Darshana Ramkumar and Vijay Lochav.
