Congress' 'Benaqab Yatra' to expose Raman govt: Sahu

Raipur, Aug 18 (UNI) Chhattisgarh Pradesh Congress Committee president Dhanendra Sahu today claimed that an anti-incumbency wave will be created against the Raman Singh government by the 10-day-long 'Benaqab Yatra' to be taken out by the Congress from four places in the state on August 20.

''There is anguish among people against the state government and it will be increased by exposing the government before the public,'' Mr Sahu told UNI here.

He said senior leaders of the party would address the meetings to be held during the yatra.

Refuting that 'Gaddi Chodo Yatra', which was started from August 10, by the Congress against the BJP government, was a flop, he said this programme evoked good response.

''In 'Gaddi Chodo Yatra' demonstrations and dharnas were being organised at block-level,'' he said.

Putting party on election mode, the Pradesh Congress Committee appointed 18 spokespersons, three months ahead of state assembly elections, he added.
