PATNA: Bihar pradesh Congress committee (BPCC) officiating president Kaukab Quadri on Friday asked the party’s all MPs, former MPs, legislators, former legislators and district presidents to ensure maximum participation of common people and members of civil society groups during the call of Bharat Bandh on September 10, as the party geared up to make the call a grand success in this NDA-ruled state.The party had given a call for nation-wide protest on September 10 against the unprecedented rise in the prices of diesel, petrol, cooking gas and some other consumer items.“Quadri on Friday sent a letter to all senior leaders of the state Congress as well as the party’s district presidents, urging them to ensure maximum participation of common people, grassroot workers and members of civil society groups during the bandh call because we understand that every section of the society are feeling the pinch of price rise,” BPCC spokesperson HK Verma told TOI on Friday.Quadri has also asked the Congress district presidents to take support of leaders of other opposition parties to make the bandh call a grand success in their area, Verma said.Though Congress has been out of power in Bihar since 1990, except being part of the RJD-led coalition government in between 2000 to 2005 and Nitish Kumar-led coalition government in between November 2015 to July 2017; it has organisational structure and cadres in almost all administrative blocks in all 38 districts.The party currently has two Lok Sabha members and one Rajya Sabha member from Bihar, besides 27 MLAs in 243-member assembly and two MLCs.Quadri further asked the Congress leaders to also approach trade union leaders, representatives of student unions and farmers’s organisations to make the bandh call a grand success.
