Rahul Gandhi urges Jharkhand Congress to give up factionalism

Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi, who was on a two-day visit to Jharkhand, urged the party leaders and workers in the state on Thursday to give up factional politics which was harming the party interests in the state.

"Rahulji told us that there is groupism in the state Congress party. Had it not been there the Congress strength in Jharkhand assembly would have been 25 to 30 MLAs," an AICC member, who attended a party meeting chaired by Gandhi here, said, quoting him.

Earlier addressing Youth Congress leaders, Rahul Gandhi called upon them to work earnestly so that the people threw out the present government and vote the Congress to power in Jharkhand. The Congress General Secretary called upon the youth Congress leaders to be fearless and overcome all difficulties in strengthening the party.

Rahul Gandhi was on a two-day visit to the state to rejuvenate the Congress ahead of the next general elections. He also held meetings with the Congress workers from top to bottom and listened to their problems seriously.
