“It is your responsibility to strengthen the organisation at the grassroots level from the booth to headquarters. You must bring in people who are ideologically committed and who have stood behind the party like a rock during difficult times,” Kharge said.”Sometimes while attempting to strengthen an organisation, such people are brought in haste who run away in difficult times. We must stay away from such people,” he told the party leaders.In his inaugural address at the meeting, Kharge said Delhi voted for change and lauded the efforts of the state leadership in putting up a good fight despite lack of resources.The BJP returned to power in Delhi after more than 26 years, winning 48 of the 70 assembly seats.The AAP won 22 seats while the Congress drew a blank in the polls held on February 5.The Congress chief said the party leaders must raise issues of public interest in the next five years and strive to make the organisation emerge as the principal opposition party in Delhi.Hitting out at the government, he said the prime minister failed to stop the insult of Indians deported from the USA.”The prime minister failed to oppose US tariffs on India, which is an insult of not just the country but all Indians,” Kharge charged.
