PCC president A V Subramanian told reporters here that Gandhi is an experienced leader and a 'champion' of the power of youth. Hnce his leadership as AICC working president would be of help. "We will be able to rejuvenate the party from grassroot level with his guidance", he said.
He claimed PCC was the first to make the plea to Rahul Gandhi to don the mantle of AICC Working president.
He said he had held talks in Delhi recently with AICC General Secretary Mukul Wasnik,in charge of party affairs here and acquainted him with strategies to revamp the party here.
Asked if he had placed before Wasnik PCC's plea that Rahul Gandhi be made AICC Working president,he said they were making this plea only now and had not made any representation to him.
He said they had already ignored senior Congress leader and Rajya Sabha member P Kannan for his sustained criticism against the party and on the same lines we are ignoring Malladi Krishna Rao also'.
