Rahul meets Cong leaders from Andhra Pradesh

Rahul Gandhi today met Congress leaders from Andhra Pradesh and discussed ways to strengthen the party in the state where it currently has no legislator.

Among those who were present during the meeting with the Congress president included AICC general secretary in-charge of Andhra Pradesh affairs Oommen Chandy and state PCC chief Raghuveera Reddy.

Chandy later said Gandhi interacted with 25 party leaders from Andhra Pradesh and also had one to one meetings with all leaders and got their views.

"We discussed the problems of the state. Congress party in Andhra Pradesh has already started the process to strengthen the party in the state. The party leaders also gave their suggestions to strengthen the party in the state. We prepared an action plan for next four months to strengthen the party i.e., from PCC level to the booth level re-organisation. We have finalised the programme," he told reporters later.

The former Kerala chief minister said he will go to every district and spend a day. He said in the first phase he will visit eight districts and spend another five days in the second phase.

Asked about the party aligning with other parties, he said, "There is no question of Congress party having any alliance with any other party in the state. Party will be organised and strengthened from top to bottom i.e., booth level. This is our fourth months' action plan and programme."
