New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi did some plain speaking on Saturday as he slammed infighting among Congress leaders and asked them to maintain unity during his first meeting with state leaders after being formally assigned to lead the party’s campaign for Lok Sabha polls.
“There may be differences among you on certain issues but you have to fight the polls unitedly to ensure the party’s victory,” Rahul, the Congress Vice-President, said at the meeting with PCC chiefs and AICC delegates.
During his interaction with leaders from Madhya Pradesh, where Congress suffered a humiliating defeat, Rahul said he knows that the party “lost due to infighting among senior leaders”.
Rahul separately met AICC delegates from each state and sought to learn of the issues which are likely to be prominent for the Lok Sabha polls. He also sought to find out about the strength of the Congress organisation in each of the states. Rahul was also told by leaders from some states, including Chhattisgarh, that those creating trouble within should be thrown out of the party. (PTI)
