Rahul to meet AICC office-bearers today

January 31, 2013 09:21

Rahul Gandhi will hold a meeting with AICC office-bearers on Thursday, his first formal interaction after taking over as party vice president more than a week ago.

The closed-door meeting will be attended by over 50 office-bearers of the party including AICC general secretaries, AICC secretaries, in-charges of states and chiefs of all the frontal wings of the party including Youth Congress, NSUI, Mahila Congress and Seva Dal.

The meeting is significant since this will be the first formal interaction of Gandhi with party leaders after he was appointed as Congress vice president during its two-day 'chintan shivir' in Jaipur on January 19.

He formally took over his position in the AICC on January 23.

In his brief interaction with the media after joining his new office in the AICC then, Gandhi had made a strong pitch for positive politics promising to make Congress an "instrument of change".
