Cong launches mass awareness campaign about govt welfare prog
Guwahati, July 18 (PTI) The Congress party Saturday said
it has launched a campaign to create mass awareness about the
various welfare programmes initiated by the Centre.
The youth Congress has started 'Aam aadmi ka sipahi'
campaign to aware the common people about the various
programmes initiated by the United Progressive Alliance (UPA)
government for their welfare, All India Congress Committee
(AICC) general secretary Rahul Gandhi, who is on a day-long
visit to the city, said.
The campaign has started from India's northern state of
Punjab. The party will spread it to the rest of the country,
Gandhi said addressing Assam Pradesh Congress Committee(APCC)
office bearers at Rajiv Bhavan, the Congress headquarters
here in India's eastern city of Guwahati.
Rahul, who is in-charge of both the National Students
Union of India (NSUI) and the youth Congress, said he will
take forward both the party wings throughout the country to
work for the common people.
Earlier Saturday, Gandhi addressed a NSUI meeting.
The media was, however, not allowed into the venue of the
NSUI meeting, while only the electronic media was permitted to
cover the Rajiv Bhavan meeting.
An APCC spokesman said the Special Protection Force (SPG)
accompanying Rahul did not allow journalists to cover the
(NSUI) meeting, while the print media was left out in the
party workers meeting due to "constraint of space in the Rajiv
Bhavan".
Visiting Assam for the first time after the Lok Sabha
(Lower House of Indian Parliament) polls, Gandhi thanked
state's Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi and APCC president
Bhubaneswar Kalita for the party's win in the state.
The Congress leader said the party has also launched a
membership drive to recruit 20 lakh youths across the country
to be sent to remote areas and work for villagers and poor.
The members will go to the villages under the 'aam aadmi
ka sipahi' programme "to inform people there about government
programmes such as NREGA (National Rural Employment Guarantee
Act) and others", he said.
We are enrolling members "using technically sophisticated
method so that there was no bogus member and issued photo
identity cards to all of them. There is three and half lakh
membership in Punjab", Gandhi informed. PTI
