Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah on Saturday extended his support to Congress president Rahul Gandhi, saying that he will take time to grow in the organisation.
Abdullah while talking to the media said that the performance of the party in the Assembly Election of the northeast states is not Gandhi's defeat and he has not failed in it.
"No, I don't think he (Rahul) has failed. Give him time, he has just become President. It will take time for him to grow in the organisation. Elections come and elections go," Abdullah said.
Talking about the revival of the Congress party, the former chief minister said that any party can recover if it works for the welfare of the people.
