Varanasi: Congress on Thursday gave a 15-day ultimatum to Mayawati government to act on charges of "brutalities" on farmers in Greater Noida and "irregularities" in National Rural Health Mission, threatening to launch a jail bharo agitation if it failed to meet the deadline.
"If a judicial inquiry is not ordered in Bhatta Parsaul village incident as demanded by senior leader Rahul Gandhi by the state government in the next 15 days, the party will launch a jail bharo agitation," UPPCC president Rita Bahuguna Joshi announced on the last day of the two-day state-level convention being organised in Varanasi.
She said that Rahul had filed an application under Right to Information Act seeking information regarding implementation of NRHM in the state.
She alleged that so far those responsible for irregularities in implementation of NRHM have not being punished.
"If no action is taken on the RTI application moved by national general secretary within 15 days the party will launch a jail bharo agitation," Joshi said while seeking the approval of the delegates on political and economic resolution.
Union Minister for Water Resources said that some amendments were made in the resolutions presented yesterday and it was planned to take opinion of the delegates, but it was disturbed due to some problems.
He said that the resolutions would go to the working committee and later distributed among the delegates.
Proceedings on the second day of the convention were cut short as the venue was shifted to an alternative place, after the tent at the original site on Mint road was uprooted during dust storm on Wednesday.
