FOR FAVOUR OF PUBLICATION NEW DELHI, Jan. 12—Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) president Shri Jai Prakash Agarwal, MP exhorted the Congress workers to make service to the people as their motto in life not only to solve the problems of the people, but also to win their trust and confidence to live up to the image of the Congress party as a political outfit for the people, by the people. Shri Agarwal, continuing with his visits to the various blocks of Delhi, today honoured with shawls Sarojini Block Congress Committee president Pavan Kumar Arora, Laxmibhai Nagar Block Congress Committee president Jagannath Chandelia and Paharganj Block Congress Committee president Naresh Girotra. New Delhi District in-charge and DPCC general secretary Shri Om Prakash Bhiduri, area MLA Shri Ashok Ahuja, DPCC general secretary Shri Rajinder Malik, New Delhi District Congress Committee president Shri Arunesh Sharma and City District Congress Committee president Shri Jagjivan Sharma were also present. Shri Agarwal told the Congress workers that under the direction and guidance of Congress president Smt. Sonia Gandhi, the Congress Governments at the Centre and in Delhi were operating many welfare schemes for the poor, Dalits, backwards and the downtrodden, and it was the responsibility of the Congress workers to popularize these programmes among the people. Shri Agarwal said he would continue with his visits to the Blocks to further strengthen the party at the grass-root level as block-level functioning of the party was most crucial for the strengthening of the Congress and he will spare no effort in spreading the reach and scope of the party in Delhi. Shri Agarwal praised the Delhi Government's decision to constitute a Mythili-Bhojpuri Academy as the people who speak these languages constituted a large number in Delhi, and the language was integral to their cultural identity. He said the people of Poorvanchal were very pleased with the Government decision to setup the Mythili-Bhojpuri Academy which was a great honour for the Poorvanchalis in Delhi. Shri Agarwal said during the nine years of Congress rule in Delhi, the Capital had witnessed amazing all-round development like many new flyovers, underpasses, escalator-overhead bridges, hospitals, dispensaries, metro, new and smooth roads etc. and exhorted the Congress workers to ensure victory of the Congress Party in the coming Assembly elections to continue with Delhi's all-round development works. Shri Agarwal said the BJP was like a rudderless ship without issues and charismatic leadership, and was on a self-destruct mode due to internal squabbles. He said the BJP had neither any issue to fight for or any future plans and the people were now regretting their decision to elect BJP into power in the MCD as the party has not been able to keep pace with the development works in the Capital.
