Congress’ 85th plenary session ended on Sunday with ‘Raipur Declaration’ asserting never to compromise with the politics of BJP-RSS, and mentioning its openness for alliances, caste census in the country and also called upon the party workers to ensure poll wins.
The declaration said, “The Congress party is the only party that has never compromised with the BJP/RSS and its despicable politics. We will always fight to protect our political values against the BJP’s authoritarian, communal and crony capitalist onslaught.”
Giving a big message on alliance, the declaration said, “We are prepared to work with like-minded political parties on the basis of a common, constructive programme to preserve and protect the Constitution in letter and spirit and to address the three main challenges facing the country: growing economic inequality, intensifying social polarisation and deepening political dictatorship.”
The same was reflected upon in the party chief Mallikarjun Kharge’s speech on Saturday where he said the party was open up for alliance.
The plenary gave full credit to Rahul Gandhi, common people and the workers of the Indian National Congress, who walked 4,000 kms from Kanyakumari to Kashmir during the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
