Congress attacks BJP for repeated U-turns

New Delhi: The Congress Monday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government of making repeated U-turns during the six months it has been in power.

Congress general secretary Ajay Maken released a booklet listing 25 U-turns that the party said the government had made vis-a-vis the stand the BJP took when it was in the opposition.

“This government has made 25 U-turns in the last around 180 days. That’s an average of one U-turn every seven to eight days,” Maken said.

He said the issues on which the government changed its stance included black money and the Bangladesh land deal.

“While the booklet was being printed, the government made three more U-turns which have not been included,” Maken added.

Maken said the BJP had fooled the people with the sole intention of coming to power.

“They only wanted to seize power even if it meant fooling the voters. They have misled the people of this nation. This government will be known as the U-turn government,” he said.

The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
