Change of guard will weaken Congress: Tamilisai

Commenting on the elevation of Rahul to the post of party president, she regretted that the dominance of a family continued in Congress and said Rahul could not strengthen the party when he was the vice-president. She said Congress had lost all the panchayats in Rahul’s own Parliament seat Amethi and added it only proved that he did not have any mass base.

However, actor Kamal Haasan greeted Rahul through twitter and said he had the strength in his shoulders to work hard like his predecessors. “I am proud of your predecessors and you can also work like them,” he tweeted.
