Rajasthan: Congress delivered 60-70% poll promises, says Ajay Maken

JAIPUR: Congress general secretary in-charge of the state Ajay Maken said the Congress government, showing its commitment to the people, has fulfilled about 60-70% of its poll promises.
He said on October 2, on Gandhi Jayanti, the government will present its report card in comparison to its manifesto and the major decisions of the state government. He was speaking to the media after meeting with former PCC president and ministers at the party office on Monday.
He said as per the feedback from the ministers, the government is on the right course and is delivering on poll promises. A major part of the poll promises has already been fulfilled, he claimed.
He said except Dr Girija Vyas and Narayan Singh, who could not make it to the meeting due to health reasons, all other former PCC presidents attended the meeting. He also met with former opposition leaders, former Union ministers and AICC office bearers.
He said the leaders gave constructive suggestions to strengthen the party organisation.
Maken said the district in-charge ministers will tour their respective districts every month and establish dialogue at district and block level to address the grievances of the people. Meeting will also be held at organizational level to get feedback from the party organization.
PCC president Govind Singh Dotasra said party leaders were asked to strengthen the party at the assembly level so that new voters could be added in the voters’ list while weeding out bogus names.
Maken will meet with the leaders from the six districts under Jaipur division on Tuesday, while on Wednesday he will meet leaders from Ajmer division there. He said the endeavour is to establish a proper coordination between the government and the party organization.
Maken had replaced Avinash Pande following revolt by former PCC president Sachin Pilot who alleged neglect of him and his supporters by the chief minister.
Maken’s challenge is to ensure adequate representation to the Sachin Pilot faction in the party and government, who were removed from the posts after the face-off.
