Brar asks Youth Congress workers to keep away from 'groupism'

Youth Congress president Amrinder Raja Brar today asked its workers in West Bengal to keep away from "groupism" and instead start "restructuring" to oust the Mamata Banerjee-government in next year's assembly polls in the state.
"Stop groupism and start restructuring the party. Stop this infighting and start working for bigger causes," Brar said at the Youth Congress convocation here.
Senior WBPCC leaders Somen Mitra, Manas Bhuniya, Deepa Das Munshi, Abdul Mannan were present at the convocation.
"You are all fighting on smaller issues. You have to take your fight to the streets, to a bigger platform," he said.
"Forget about who is a top leader or who is a grassroot worker. We all have to fight hard. I ask everybody to work hard and nobody will be able to stop you," Brar said.

Stressing that Youth Congress leaders who are holding crucial posts but sitting idle should be removed from the party, Brar said "Definitely those who are not working but holding on to their posts must resign. I've asked senior party members today to remove such people from their posts and also those who have given today's meeting a miss."

Questioning the "silence" of Trinamool Congress MPs in Parliament on Lalitgate and Vyapam scam, Brar alleged that Mamata Banerjee and Narendra Modi has reached a "consensus".
"There was a buzz about an understanding between them (TMC and BJP) but with their leaders' absolute silence in the Parliament I am sure that a consensus has been reached between the two (Banerjee and Modi)," he alleged.

Whether Congress would go with CPI-M in the next year's elections in the state, Brar said, "It (left party) will not like to comment much on issues related to Pradesh Congress. But I feel Congress must fight the elections alone. The final decision will be taken by the president and Rahulji (Gandhi)."
Claiming that Youth Congress would play a crucial role in next year's assembly election, Brar asked its leaders in the state to go for a membership drive.
