Speaking on the occasion, Patil said that the party would monitor the active participation of all the functionaries and leaders to ensure the involvement of all party workers in the programms to further strengthen the organisation at all levels.She said that party would gear up its activities in the districts and constituency levels to highlight the policies and programmes of the party and expose the “wrong policies” of the BJP Government and its “failures on different fronts.”She said that the party would solidly stand with all aggrieved sections of society in their ongoing struggle for justice and due rights and would fight for safeguarding their interests against the BJP government’s policies.

She appreciated the Congress workers and leaders who were on the street for the last eight years against the anti people policies of Modi Govt  during all these years. She said that the loyal party workers shall keep the flag of the party high in every situation. She asked the party leaders and workers to work unitedly  to strengthen the party under the leadership of Smt Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. She sought redressal of grievances of the people saying that the Government had failed to ensure basic facilities to the people.She further said that the BJP Government failed to lay emphasis on required facilities to the people on a priority. She said people are living a difficult life and want an end to their miseries. He said that Congress feels duty-bound to work for the wellbeing of the people.

Congress is an instrument of service to the people and will continue to remain at the forefront to highlight the genuine needs concerning the people for their resolution,” Patil said.Referring to the current situation, she said, “The situation in the country is different now as the democratic institutions are under the threat. The saner voices are being muzzled by the BJP and its offshoots, which is a matter of serious concern.”

She further said that it is the duty of every right-thinking person to raise his or her voice against these undemocratic policies to ensure that there is no damage to the very foundations of the country,” she said. “Congress has strengthened the democratic set up of the country and it will continue to work in that direction despite the coercion and other pressure tactics by the ruling BJP. Urging the Government of India to start the developmental process in J&K, she said it had come to a standstill since BJP assumed power at New Delhi.“Mere claims and running paper horses with regard to the wellbeing of the people and development of J&K won’t serve any purpose. There is a need to address the developmental issues, rising unemployment and other major issues concerning the people, “she added.

Patil said Congress was desirous of real empowerment of the people in Jammu and Kashmir through the restoration of statehood. “The political philosophy that formed the edifice of the Congress Party’s agenda encompasses the true empowerment of the people through restoration of statehood and legal safeguards for their land and jobs,” she said. She said that the political empowerment of the people goes through the route of socio-economic development.”For addressing alienation among the people, statehood should be restored to J&K with dignity and honour, she reiterated.
