Amid ongoing consultations on restructuring of the party’s Punjab unit, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Friday met leaders of Opposition in Municipal Corporations in four major towns of the State in New Delhi.
Punjab Congress sources said Rahul met four leaders of Congress from municipal corporations of ludhiana, Patiala, Jalandhar and Amritsar and asked them about ways to strengthen the party at the grassroots level.Sources said Rahul wanted to seek the opinion of all elected representatives of Congress in the state before taking a final decision on the party’s restructuring. This move, party insiders, say is also aimed at bringing in democracy in the party. Rahul has already met party MlAs former Chief Minister Amarinder Singh and former Deputy Chief Minister Rajinder Kaur Bhattal, besides PCC chief Partap Singh Bajwa. Former Union ministry Preneet Kaur also met Rahul on Friday to discuss the restructuring issue.
Rahul is now slated to meet Congress General Secretary in charge of Punjab Shakeel Ahmad for the matter.
