New Delhi: Congress Vice President Rahul
Gandhi, while interacting with the newly elected office bearers of the party on
Saturday, warned the Congress leaders against groupism and said that
coordination and cooperation is the key to success.
Rahul Gandhi told them in no uncertain
terms that accountability will follow responsibility. He also felt there was
something amiss in the functioning of the outgoing party set-up. With a series
of assembly polls due this year and Lok Sabha elections by May next, Rahul
Gandhi said the Congress should project a picture of a united family where the
young give respect to elders and draw from their experience. He said the
general secretaries should prepare a roadmap for the states under their charge
and the secretaries should visit the district and block levels as per the plan.
The Congress vice president, who has
frequently talked about the system being closed to youngsters, asked the leaders
to help open it up. AICC secretaries, who had in earlier meetings with Rahul
Gandhi, complained of not having been given adequate responsibilities, have
been given the charge this time and they will have to do lot of touring of the
states. The young Congress MP said factionalism is detrimental to the party's
interests and should be shunned.
Rahul Gandhi also chose the occasion to
flag the issue of inadequate representation to women in the AICC and other
party wings. The Congress leader assured that in two-three years, 50 percent of
the office-bearers will be women.
