Rahul Gandhi warns Congress leaders against groupism



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.
