Congress' youth wing launches postcard campaign to seek PM's answer on 3 questions
New Delhi, Apr 3: The Indian Youth Congress on Monday launched a nationwide door-to-door postcard campaign through which it will seek a reply from Prime Minister Narendra Modi on three questions.
One of the questions reads, "How much funds has Adani given to the BJP till date?"
IYC national president Srinivas B V said the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) is going to start "Jawab Do Postcard" campaign against the 'Adani scam'.
"Youth Congress workers will take this campaign to every city and village of the country. Rahul Gandhi is constantly demanding answers from the central government and the prime minister on the Adani scam, but the PM is silent and the same government is busy saving Adani," he alleged.
Coco Padhi, IYC national general secretary and the organisation's Delhi in-charge, said, "The campaign has been launched across the country. It will be a door-to-door campaign where we will reach out to the people...
"We will then send these postcards to the prime minister," he said.
The National Students' Union of India (NSUI), the students wing of the Congress, has also kicked off a similar campaign from Delhi University.
The campaign comes days after Rahul Gandhi's disqualification from the Lok Sabha after his conviction in a 2019 criminal defamation case.
A sessions court in Gujarat's Surat city on Monday granted bail to Gandhi and agreed to hear the matter on April 13.

Bihar: Over 150 children fall ill after consuming 'mid-day meal' in Saharsa
Saharsa (PTI): More than 150 children were taken ill after allegedly consuming food that was part of the mid-day meal in a school in Bihar’s Saharsa district, a senior official said on Thursday.
The incident occurred at a middle school in Baluaha village of the district.
The official said that 115 children were undergoing treatment at the Sadar Hospital, while around 50 students were admitted to Mahishi Public Health Centre.
“We received information that several children fell ill after consuming the mid-day meal in Baluaha. The children were initially treated at the primary health centre, but later, many were referred to the Sadar Hospital,” Saharsa District Magistrate Deepesh Kumar told reporters.
“According to doctors, the health condition of the children has improved, but they will be kept under observation for some time. There is no need to panic. Some kids are having mild fever. They are being treated accordingly,” Kumar said.
Meanwhile, family members of some children claimed that a snake was found in the container in which cooked pulses was stored at the school.
Of the 545 students present in the school, 200 had already eaten their meals by the time the snake was spotted, and later complained of stomach ache and vomiting, they said.
Regarding the claims, the DM said food samples have been collected from the school.
“We will be able to comment on this only after the results of the tested samples arrive,” he said.
