Congress Utilizes Youth for Developing the Country – Pramod Madhwaraj
Udupi: The BJP and Hindu outfits are misleading the youth, while the Indian National Congress is utilising them for the development of the country said Minister for Sports, Youth Affairs, Fisheries and Minister in-charge District Pramod Madhwaraj. He was speaking during the installation ceremony of the Youth Congress office bearers of Udupi Assembly Constituency at the LVT Temple Hall here on August 15.
BJP is misleading the youth in the name of religion and is utilising them to destroy the society by instigating communal violence. The death of Praveen Poojary of Kokkarne who was killed in Kokkarne has shattered his family, while the family of the accused involved in killing Praveen is also leading the disastrous life. 21 youth who had killed Praveen Poojary belong to the age group of 16-21 years, they are now behind bars causing great pain to their families who lead a life of distress. The Congress Party has never utilised the youth for wrong reasons but has utilised them in promoting national development through serving the society. The Youth Congress will be strengthened from the booth level and will involve in activities serving the society, development of the youth, development of the party and the country.
Inaugurating the programme Rajya Sabha MP Oscar Fernandes said that Youth Congress has an additional responsibility towards working for the society. The Congress party has effectively promoted the welfare of the country. The UPA led by former PM Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi has promoted the Food Security Act. The State government led by CM Siddaramaiah is a model to other states for providing free rice to the poor people. Congress should work effectively towards winning the upcoming elections by announcing and implementing people friendly schemes, he added.
Newly elected office bearers took charge from Rajya Sabha MP Oscar Fernandes on the occasion.
