Hours after the Congress announced a new team for Tamil Nadu, party's MP Karti P.Chidambaram on Saturday said that the appointment of various committees by its president Sonia Gandhi would not serve any purpose.

"These jumbo committees serve no purpose. 32 VPs, 57 GS, 104 secretaries. None will have any authority which means no accountability," Karti Chidambaram tweeted.
