Rahul Gandhi to head the Congress panel for the 2014 polls

Congress General Secretary and Member of Parliament Rahul Gandhi has been appointed as the chairman of the party’s six-member coordination committee for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. The others on the committee are Ahmed Patel, Janardan Dwivedi, Digvijay Singh, Madhusudan Mistry and Jairam Ramesh. The three other sub-groups also indicate the areas of concern for the party with an eye on the preparations for the elections. These include pre-poll alliances, preparation of manifesto and the government’s programme implementation, as well as communications and publicity. The move by the Congress clearly indicates that Rahul Gandhi is surely going to have an upper hand in the party’s decision. As a young leader and with a potential mass appeal, Rahul Gandhi can definitely take his party to new heights with the blessing of his mother and Congress President Sonia Gandhi.
