Rahul indicates changes in Cong set up in Amethi

June 14, 2013 17:00

Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi today indicated changes in the organisational set up of the party in his parliamentary constituency Amethi, where it fared badly in the last Assembly elections.

Gandhi today met party workers of his constituency here and indicated that new people would be given responsibilities in the organisational set up in a month's time, party leaders who met him said.

He said with new faces the party would be given "a new thrust" in the area. In 2012 assembly elections, Congress had managed to win only two of the 10 Assembly seats in the Gandhi bastions of Amethi and Rae Bareli in central Uttar Pradesh.

The Samajwadi Party had won eight of the 10 Assembly seats in the two parliamentary constituencies represented by Rahul Gandhi and his mother Sonia Gandhi.
