Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said today a lot of changes are being carried out in the party at the organisational level. Addressing a programme in Patna, the Congress leader accepted that earlier some mistakes were committed in Bihar, but now the party will take along all sections of the society.
Mr Gandhi added that two-thirds of the party’s district presidents have been appointed from SC, ST, OBC, minority and other weaker sections.
Earlier, Mr Gandhi attended the Padyatra at Begusarai, organised by his party over the problem of migration and unemployment. In a post on X, Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said that he would visit Begusarai in Bihar, where he would hold the Yatra.
“Young friends of Bihar, I will be coming to Begusarai on April 7th to join you in the ‘Roko Palayan, Do Naukri’ campaign, walking shoulder to shoulder with you. The goal is to show the world the spirit of Bihar’s youth, their struggles, and their hardships,” Rahul said.
The Lok Sabha LoP also asked the youth to wear white t-shirts to put pressure on the Bihar government. “Come wearing a White T-Shirt, ask questions, raise your voice–to put pressure on the government for your rights, to hold them accountable. Let’s come together and make Bihar a state of opportunities,” he said.
“Congress will conduct X-ray of India through caste census for benefit of socially backward classes,” said Gandhi, adding that his party would end the barrier of 50 per cent cap on reservations.
In Bihar, the Congress is part of the Mahagathbandhan, which also includes Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Left parties. Speaking about the alliance, Rahul Gandhi said, “Mahagathbandhan will work for uplift of Dalits, EBCs, women of Bihar.
