Congress to encourage young leadership

The Congress party is likely to encourage young leadership in the party in the wake of defections of some MLAs and MPs and lack of coordination among the senior leaders in Telangana.

This is being viewed as a good opportunity to the young Congress leaders who did not get due recognition in the shade of senior leaders. Party will conduct meetings in the 

Assembly and MP constituencies represented by defected leaders who joined the TRS.

The statements made by the Congress party general secretary Digvijay Singh in Adilabad during his visit are any indication to this.

‘We had good cadre and young leaders with the party though few business leaders left the party for their selfish gains and certainly we will encourage young  leadership in the party in Telangana’, said Digvijay Singh while adding that the problem with the party is a number of leaders.

A young Congress leader of Adilabad said that the senior Congress leaders enjoyed the power most of their life with the blessing of the party and left the party for their selfish gains when the party was in need of their support and also without bothering about the political future of young leaders.

Especially the Youth Congress and NSUI leaders were seen disturbed with the exodus of the senior party leaders into TRS but the Digvijay Singh’s statements in favor of young leadership boosted their morale and revived their political hopes.

Sources said Congress party high command is not happy with the senior leaders who misguided the party high command saying that party will get full credit for the creation of the Telangana and the party will come to the power in the state.

Congress leaders are planning to organize agitation programs for the rights of the farmers and unemployed youth especially university students who led the Telangana movement from the front. It is learned that Digvijay Singh asked the leaders of congress party to take up agitation.
