Reviving an age-old tradition, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday interacted with party workers and leaders at the party headquarters in the national capital.

According to party leaders, the Gandhi scion arrived at the sprawling 24, Akbar Road headquarters of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) at around 9.30 am to meet the delegations of Congress workers from various states.

On the occasion, Rahul also addressed the National Executive of the All India Fishermen Congress and launched their website at the AICC HQ.

Easy accessibility of the Congress president has been an issue of debate in the past and Rahul Gandhi is trying to make himself more accessible to party workers.

The Congress chief’s office at the AICC headquarters had remained closed for several years and would be opened once in a while when former party chief Sonia Gandhi came to attend a meeting of the Congress Working Committee (CWC).

However, as the Congress general secretary then, Rahul used to hold ‘janta darbars’ for party workers, much like his grandmother and former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

The Congress chief’s office at AICC has recently been refurbished for Rahul Gandhi, who was elected unopposed as the party chief on December 11 and took charge of the reins on December 16.
