Of a No to Negative Politics....


On a day a confident Rahul Gandhi sought to put his best foot forward, saying he wanted to take political debates away from acrimony, Congressmen felt he should use the momentum from the Jaipur convention to revamp the organization in line with his inauguration promise.
Rahul visited the AICC headquarters at 24, Akbar Road and  met office-bearers as their new boss — party vice-president.
In a brief interaction with reporters, Rahul regretted the political environment was “extremely acrimonious”.
“We are always fighting with each other. Often, I feel for small reasons… I don’t want to get into negative politics. I don't want to be critical of everybody. I want to get into positive politics because that is what is going to take this country forward. Negative politics is not going to take this country forward,” he said.Rahul looked relaxed and in charge, dressed in casual blue denims and a white kurta, walking across from 10, Janpath, to the AICC office next door, flanked by senior leaders.
