Tiruchirappalli (TN): Congress leader Rahul
Gandhi on Wednesday said intelligent and hardworking members have a
bright future and they will be given responsibilities in the
organisation.
"Members of Youth Congress will have bright future and be
given responsibilities if they are intelligent, hardworking
and entered into the team to be formed by it," Gandhi said on
a brief visit here to oversee the Youth Congress elections.
Gandhi, on his second visit to the state since September
last, was replying to a girl, Harini, who asked "What is the
use of being a member of the Youth Congress?"
He said the members of the team would be given intense
training in various aspects and the best among them would be
given responsibilities. "They will be used even during the
General Elections," Gandhi said.
When one Rajesh suggested Congress could fight the polls
alone in Tamil Nadu, where it has been out of power since
1967, Gandhi simply smiled without giving a reply.
Rahul, who arrived along with his sister Priyanka Vadra,
visited the polling booth at the YMCA Hall and shook hands
with some of the voters and greeted his party-men.
At Kattur counting centre, he asked those engaged in
counting to show the ballot papers to the candidates and
appreciated "the good arrangements" for the elections. He also
congratulated one of the winners, Subbulakshmi, at Kattur.
During his three-day visit last year, on a mission to
revive the party in Tamil Nadu, Gandhi had sought the support
of the youth to change the way politics work in the state.
