Reviving the old party tradition, Congress president Rahul Gandhi will interact with delegations of party leaders and workers from across the country from tomorrow at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) headquarters at Akbar Road here.
According to party sources, the AICC headquarters will be open for those on the list of appointments with the Congress chief from 9:30 AM to 11 AM.
The media, however, will not be allowed to be present during these interactions.
Easy accessibility of the Congress president has been an issue of debate in the past.
The Congress president's office at the AICC headquarters has, for several years, remained closed. It was opened once in a while when former party chief Sonia Gandhi came to attend the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting or an important event like the party's foundation day.
The office has recently been cleaned up and refurbished for Rahul Gandhi to sit there.
In the past, former Congress presidents like Indira Gandhi used to meet the party workers at a "janta durbar" there.
