One Family, One Person Idea Included in Congress’ Udaipur Declaration

Udaipur: As the curtain falls on the three-day Nav Sankalp Chintan Shivir, Congress gave the call of ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ on Sunday. Congress Working Committee member Ajay Maken said, “Exactly 80 years ago, in the year 1942, Mahatma Gandhi gave the call of ‘Bharat Choro (Quit India)’. In the year 2022, the country’s slogan will be ‘Bharat Jodo’. This is the ‘nav sankalp’ of Udaipur. The ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ is scheduled to begin on Gandhi Jayanti (October 2, 2022). 

At the Chintan Shivir, Congress announced various internal reforms and a task force would be set up in the next 2-3 days to implement these reforms. In her concluding remarks at the Chintan Shivir, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi said the three-day conclave has been ‘very useful and productive’. “We will overcome. That is our determination. That is our Nav Sankalp (new resolution). The Congress will have a new uday (dawn). That is our Nav Sankalp,” 75-year-old Sonia Gandhi said.

We HAVE and WILL overcome.

The declaration said that it is the duty of every Congress member to make people aware of the difference in the ‘nationalism of Congress v/s BJP.
