According to reports, as desired by the Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, all Pradesh Congress Committees, District Congress Committees and Block Congress Committees have also been asked to hold flag hoisting functions at the same time on January 30 at their respective party offices or important sites, in solidarity with the Bharat Jodo Yatra,” he said.
‘since most congress blocks do not have party offices, the block president’s have been asked to hoist the National Flag at their respective residences, as part of the Pan India movement’, informed Borges, further stating the Canacona congress party block will be rebuilt soon with the congress stalwarts from the constituency playing a major role in over-all party activities.
