Those who harmed party in poll would be expelled: Rahul

Continuing the review of the just-concluded elections in UP in which his party fared dismally even in areas which were considered its stronghold, Gandhi said the organisation would be revamped and priority given to active, honest and dedicated workers.

According to the workers and leaders who attended the review of Jagdishpur segment on the last day of his three-day visit, Gandhi said workers were the backbone of the party and their voice would be heard.

Gandhi said all development works in the district would be reviewed every three months and the basic problems related to power, potable water and roads would be resolved on a priority basis.

Motivating the workers, the Congress MP asked them not to get discouraged and start preparing for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

The scene and complaints in Jagdishpur were similar to that in other assembly segments with the party workers complaining that they were not heard and development in rural areas was not as per the requirement.

The workers also pointed out that common people have nowhere to go and that not much has been done to deal with problems like unemployment. PTI CORR SAB PG PAL
