Congress leader and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi arrived here on Wednesday to address a training camp for district unit presidents from Haryana and Uttarakhand.
The training camp for the District Congress Committee (DCC) chiefs, being held from January 13 to 22, is aimed at strengthening the party’s organisational structure in the two states.
After landing at Ambala airport, Gandhi proceeded to Kurukshetra by road. He was received at the airport by senior party leaders, including former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Kumari Selja, Randeep Singh Surjewala, Haryana Congress chief Rao Narender Singh, and Congress general secretary in charge of Haryana affairs B K Hariprasad.
Last year, the Congress appointed 32 district unit presidents in Haryana after a gap of more than a decade as part of its ‘Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan’, with the appointments announced in August. In Uttarakhand, 27 new DCC presidents were appointed in November.
The party said the training programme is designed to reinforce grassroots leadership and organisational preparedness ahead of future political challenges.
Senior leaders Hooda, Selja and Surjewala have already addressed the district presidents during the ongoing camp.
Congress MLA Ashok Arora said the training modules cover a broad range of subjects, including the party’s history, ideology, policies, organisational functioning, and its future political roadmap.
