No place for flattery in Congress, says Rahul Gandhi

Congress general secretary, Rahul Gandhi today said flattery can have no place in the party and its youth wing.

"Those who believe in flattery should leave Congress or Youth Congress and join BJP," he said at a meeting here.

He said the days of using friends or relatives to make progress in the Congress were also over.

"I have put an end to flattery in some states," Rahul said, adding that this will happen soon in Madhya Pradesh also.

The Congress general secretary said that if tribals wanted to ensure their development, they must bring forward good leadership.

Rahul suggested them to emulate tribals in Orissa who worked for their rights. 

He also paid tributes to the leader of Opposition in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly, Jamuna Devi who passed away recently.
