New Delhi : Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi said today that he was sure newly appointed PPCC chief Sunil Jakhar and Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh would “do wonders” in Punjab.
“I’m always there if you need my help for anything, but I’m also sure you and Capt Amarinder Singh will not require me. Both of you are enough as a team…,” Rahul told Jakhar, who met him this evening.
Rahul also offered to accompany Jakhar for a meeting with party president Sonia Gandhi tomorrow morning.
Speaking to The Tribune after the 20-minute meeting at Rahul’s residence, Jakhar said, “The party vice-president reposed faith in the leadership potential of the new Punjab team comprising myself and Capt Amarinder Singh.”
The two discussed the political situation in Punjab, with Rahul asking Jakhar to work for strengthening the state organisation. “He asked me to work for the party cadres and ensure harmony between the government and the organisation. His message was that we need to take everyone along,” Jakhar said.
Rahul has been stressing the need to build the Congress bottom up in every state, having realised that it was the party’s booth-level weakness that cost it heavily in most of the elections.
