While Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is pushing for Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan to re-energise grand old party’s cadre, its Delhi unit has diluted the recently formed District Congress Committees. The campaign has not gone down well with party leaders.

Caught off guard, the counsel paused, visibly unsettled, before seeking an adjournment, which was quietly granted with a hint of courtroom amusement lingering.
