Rahul Gandhi meets Congress in Maharashtra

Mumbai: Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi on Friday listened to party workers' views on the functioning of the coalition government in Maharashtra.

At a meeting in the Tilak Bhavan at Dadar, the workers expressed themselves against any alliance with the Sharad Pawar-led NCP. Some Congress workers said that the Congress should go it alone, not only in the local bodies polls but also in the Assembly and general elections.

Another Congress worker said that Rahul Gandhi heard various suggestions and did not make any speech. There was also resentment at the non-performance of some Ministers in the State Cabinet. A worker said people did not name them, but spoke favourably of three Congress Ministers.

After some complaints of the non-functioning of the government, Rahul Gandhi defended Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan, saying he knew him for long and he had done a good work.

A Congress worker told Rahul Gandhi that this government did not give priority to party members in the approval of works, and decisions were not taken soon.

Even at the first meeting, which Rahul Gandhi addressed in Bhaidas Hall, members of the Indian Youth Congress and the National Students Union of India raised concerns at the alliance with the NCP. The Congress General Secretary assured the delegates that he would dedicate more time to reviewing the working of the party at the grass roots.
