Delhi all set to welcome Bharat Jodo Yatra on December 24
Led by former Congress president Rahul Gandhi, the foot march will be received by state Congress leaders and workers. The Yatra will have a sojourn in the National Capital till 3 January.
Chaudhary Anil Kumar said that a Congress government in the MCD would ensure social justice, financial justice, religious justice and cultural justice to Dalits, and Congress is committed to fulfil all its promises.
In a race to ensure the victory in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) elections the political parties are leaving no stone unturned to woo the voters. Regularisation of the temporary employees working in MCD remains one of the biggest demands to be addressed.
Making a big political move to win the trust and support of such temporary employees, the Delhi Congress party promised to regularize all the temporary employees and daily wagers within six months of coming to power in the MCD.
Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) president Chaudhary Anil Kumar, releasing yet another Vision Document (manifesto) of the Congress party for the MCD elections, asserted that within six months after coming to power in the Corporation, Congress will regularize all temporary employees in the MCD, including daily wagers, and end the outsourcing jobs to contractors as the ad hoc job culture, which had most adversely affected the sanitation workers.
Chaudhary said that Congress will empower the Dalits financially by ensuring them permanent jobs, which the BJP had failed to do during its 15-year rule in the Corporation by treating the Dalit workers shabbily, despite big contribution by them.
He said that funds for the welfare schemes and guarantees to the Dalit community would be allocated in the next budget of the MCD after the elections, as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) did not spend the funds meant for the welfare of Dalits, and as a result, nearly Rs. 2500 Crores remained unspent.
Chaudhary Anil Kumar said that a Congress government in the MCD would ensure social justice, financial justice, religious justice and cultural justice to Dalits, and Congress is committed to fulfil all its promises.
Addressing a press conference, along with former Minister Krishna Tirath and Chairman of the DPCC Communications Department Anil Bhardwaj, Chaudhary said that the Congress government had implemented many welfare schemes for the uplift of Dalits, to ensure a secure future for their children, but Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal played with the sentiments of Dalits.
He said that Kejriwal is responsible for the pile up of garbage across Delhi as he did not release funds to pay the wages of sanitation workers, who often had to strike at work to get their back wages.
