Ending factionalism and strengthening organisational base at the
grassroots-level are the major priorities of the Congress to perform better in
forthcoming polls, observed AICC general secretary and Odisha-in-charge Jagdish
Tytler, while speaking to mediapersons here on Tuesday evening.
Tytler said both the Narsingha Mishra and
Sarat Pattnaik factions have to work together for the party unit to improve in
Balangir.
He alleged that a huge amount of money given
by the Centre has not been spent properly by the Naveen Patnaik Government. “I
had asked 18 questions on the utilisation of fund given by the Central
Government and other issues to Chief Minister Naveen Pataik, but they have not
been answered totally till date,” Tytler rued.
He further said the Congress lost in the Zilla
Parishad election due to money and muscle power and organisational weakness. We
are on the move to strengthen the party in rural areas and win the hearts of
the people, he said.
“Our voting percentage has improved since
2009. In 2009, we got 29 per cent of votes. This time, we got 33 per cent.
However, this is not enough. We have to improve our performance,” Tytler said.
Leader of Opposition in the State Assembly
Bhupinder Singh said Naveen Patnaik’s boastful claim of getting special
category status for the State is baseless.
He asked what the BJD Government could not do
in the last 12 years of its rule, how can it claim to have done it in 24 hours?
Among others, PCC president Niranjan Patnaik,
Balangir district Congress president Bhagban Bagarty and leader Vinaya Kumar
Sorkee were present.
Later, Tytler visited the district Congress
office and interacted with the Congress workers. He called upon them to work
hard burying their differences and convey the pro poor and welfare measures
implemented by the Central Government to the rural masses.
