New Delhi, February 10 Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday advised the newly-appointed district party presidents to perform well in their organizational roles or be prepared to make way for others.
Addressing a meeting of around 200 new chiefs of district Congress units across six states, Gandhi said accountability in party leadership roles was important and would be enforced.
Senior leaders who attended the meeting said Gandhi placed a huge emphasis on work ethics and culture, asking the district unit presidents to ensure that the organization was strengthened, the party's message was conveyed to the people, and organizational discipline was maintained.
One participant said Rahul's message was clear: "No position is permanent, and accountability will be enforced."
The meeting saw participation from District Congress Committees (DCCs) in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Rajasthan.
The DCCs were appointed in states where the party's organizational rejuvenation plan – Srijan Abhiyan – has concluded.
Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, along with senior party leaders, attended the DCC Presidents' Training Programme under the Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan, which aims to strengthen the party's organizational framework.
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu and former Chhattisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Baghel were also present at the meeting.
