Speaking to reporters ahead of the meeting, Kumari Selja said Gandhi will also give necessary direction and guidance to all those who will be involved in setting up the organisational structure in the state.

Another senior leader Birender Singh said when the party will have its full organisational structure ready in Haryana, it will further strengthen the party.

The Congress, which has been out of power in Haryana for past over a decade, has not had a district-level organisation in the state for the past 11 years and Gandhi’s visit is to set the process in motion.

The party has appointed observers for appointment of the District Congress Committee presidents in Haryana.

Earlier upon his arrival at the airport, Gandhi, who is the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, was given a warm welcome by party leaders.

Gandhi had on Tuesday visited Bhopal as part of the ‘Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan’ (organisation rejuvenation campaign).
