Days after being suspended by the Congress, senior leader Chiranjib Biswal on Monday broke his silence and clarified that he has not done anything that is against the party.
Biswal said that only a discussion was held at a seminar in Bhubaneswar with an intention to unite the party.
“I come from a family having a Congress background and have never done anything against the party. A coterie is working to keep me away from the party. The particular group is working to divide the party in the districts where Congress' position is good,” alleged Biswal.
Biswal further claimed that it was said that the party performed poorly because of his statements in the seminar in Jharsuguda bypoll. But for whom the performance of the party dip in Dhamnagar and Padmapur elections and whether it has been examined as the polls were held under PCC leadership, he questioned.
“If speaking the truth is a crime, then I have done it. Those who are conspiring against me, they have not won in the last 25 years. I don’t know under whose instructions such conspiracy is being hatched. Congress activists should come forward to expose and stand against such conspiracy,” said Biswal.
Biswal further said that the coterie is active in such districts where Congress is in a good position and is trying to divide the party.
“I have self-respect and have always been a disciplined worker. I do not fear action. I extend my wishes if mission 90 from 9 is achieved without me and my family,” said Biswal.
It is pertinent to mention here that Congress suspended Chiranjib Biswal and Barabati-Cuttack MLA Mohammad Moquim for being involved in anti-party activities.
“If, due to any reason, the party doesn’t give me a ticket, I will contest the election as an independent candidate with the support of my followers,” said Moquim yesterday adding, “I hope the party chief’s conspiracy against me would go in vain.”
