New Delhi [India], November 24 (Desk): Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi said that the party has accepted the verdict of the Maharastra and Jharkhand assembly elections adding that they would introspect (their performance) in both states to further strengthen.
Speaking to reporters in Delhi after the all-party meeting, Gogoi said that Congress accepts the verdict given by the people of Maharashtra and would introspect (their performance) in both states to further strengthen.
“We raised the same issues in Maharashtra that we raised in Jharkhand. How is it that the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)-led alliance won in Jharkhand? Whether it is the rights of the SC ST and OBC or unemployment or inflation issues. Yes, the verdict of Jharkhand is different from the verdict of Maharashtra. We accept the verdict. We will introspect both the states’ verdicts and strengthen our party,” Gogoi said.
On all-party meeting, Gogoi said, “We have raised the issue of Adani, Manipur, atrocities against women, OBCs, SCs and STs.”
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju asserted that the union government is “ready to discuss any topic” while calling for a peaceful session of Parliament.
Speaking to reporters on Sunday after the all-party meeting in Delhi, Rijiju said several topics were raised requesting for discussion in Parliament as winter session is scheduled to kick off tomorrow.
“A total of 42 leaders from 30 political parties were present in the meeting. There are many topics. Everyone has asked for discussion on some topics but we want that there should be a good discussion in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. The government is ready to discuss any topic. Our only request is that the House should run well and there should be no ruckus. Every member wants to participate in the discussion but the House should run well. To run the winter session well, everyone’s cooperation is needed and everyone’s participation is necessary,” Kiren Rijiju said.
