Mangalore, Oct 23: Under instructions from Mahendra Joshi, chief organiser of All India Congress Sevadal, and as per the directions of Bheem Shanker V H, chief organiser of state Sevadal and member, AICC, Haji H M Ashraf formally took charge as the chief organiser of Sevadal for Dakshina Kannada district.

The programme was held at the district Congress office, Hampanakatta here on Saturday October 23.

Speaking on the occasion, Ivan D’Souza said that Sevadal members are known for their discipline and responsibilities. The recent setback that the Congress party suffered in the state can be overcome as it has a strong team of field workers, that is, the Sevadal members, he added.
 
Sadananda Poonja, ex-president of the Dakshina Kannada zilla panchayat, said that young Ashraf has every quality to become a leader. However, he expressed his grief that some leaders in the Congress are not working for the welfare of the party but for their own benefit. He also said that Sevadal unit is literally thrown into the corner by the party which is neglecting its importance.
 
M G Hegde, spokesperson of DK district Congress said that a leader should have minimum expectation and make maximum contribution to the party. He agreed upon the fact that workers of Sevadal have not been prioritized and added that members of Sevadal need to be considered for some of the posts in the party in future.
 
Vrinda Poojary took in charge as the president of the women’s unit. The members of the Sevadal and the Congress party garlanded the portrait of Narayan Subbarao Hardikar, founder of Sevadal unit.
 
M G Hegde, Sujatha Ullal, Raja Poojary, Vishwanath H, Sadashiva Ullal and Sevadal chief convener Bhimashankar among others were present.
