AICC takes stock of party’s Cov-control work in state

Ranchi: The All India Congress Committee (AICC)’s national relief task force on Thursday reviewed the ongoing Covid-19 mitigation works in Jharkhand via video conferencing.
Senior AICC members like Gulam Nabi Azad, Jairam Ramesh and Priyanka Gandhi, among others, were present at the meeting which was attended by all four Congress ministers in state cabinet.
Speaking to TOI, Congress’s spokesperson Alok Dubey said, “Our state president, Rameshwar Oraon, along with other party seniors, explained in detail the various relief works being undertaken in Jharkhand, both by the party and the government. Health minister Banna Gupta gave a detailed explanation of the efforts taken in the last one year to flatten the Covid wave. He also laid down the measures that government is taking in the event of a possible third wave of Covid-19.” He added that the central leadership was satisfied with the government’s work and gave a few ideas to the party to improve their work further.
Meanwhile, Congress’s Mahagama MLA Deepika Pandey Singh has been appointed as one of the national general secretaries and given charge of Uttarakhand affairs. “It’s a huge responsibility and I thank the central leadership for putting their faith in me,” she said.
Meanwhile, the state unit of BJP also held a virtual meeting over the ‘continued post-poll violence in Bengal’. State president Deepak Prakash said, “Governments in both Bengal and Jharkhand are working against the constitutional principles. We appeal to the intelligentsia to break their silence over the ongoing loot, unlawful activities in Jharkhand and Bengal.”
