Addressing a press conference at the party office after the meeting, MPCC senior spokesperson Ningombam Bhupenda said that the Nav Sankalp meet was organised to deliberate on the resolutions adopted in the recent Nav Sankalp summit of Congress party held in Udaipur, Rajasthan from May 13 to 15 in order to bring back a Congress government at the Centre.

The meeting held at Congress Bhawan here discussed how MPCC will implement the resolutions adopted at the national meet so that the party could bounce back to power.

A 16-member political affairs committee has also been formed during the meeting with MPCC president K Meghachandra and other key leaders of the party as members.

The committee will chalk out strategies to bring back Congress rule both at the Centre and in the state, he said.

Apart from the formation of the committee, the meet also re solved to frame a constitution and jurisdiction to hold elections for Mandal Congress Committee; to organise 75-km long walk by all district committees starting from August 9 to mark 75 years of Indian Independence, to fill up all vacant posts in the block, district and state level committees by November 15; and to organise widespread agitation against price hike of essential commodities, he revealed.

Regarding the summoning of AICC president Sonia Gandhi and Lok Sabha MP Rahul Gandhi by Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a money laundering case related to National Herald newspaper, Bhupenda accused BJP government of indulging in cheap political vendetta to divert attention from real issues such as inflation, falling GDP growth, social unrest, and social divisiveness in the country.

It is an attempt to discredit Congress party as BJP fears of Congress returning to power, he added.
