New Delhi: Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan on Saturday issued a clarification over his 'haven't met Rahul Gandhi in the last four years' remark. The Congress G-23 group member said, "He (Rahul) had resigned from his post in the organization...He's opposing Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his own way and going across the nation and abroad. Not necessary to meet him every time." Further speaking on it, Chavan said, "There was COVID-19 for two years. Nobody met anyone during that period of time. Even before he resigned from his post in the organization, he used to tell us to meet General Secretary for organization-related work." The former Maharashtra CM has earlier said, "I have met Sonia Gandhi whenever I sought time, but I have not been able to meet Rahul Gandhi for a long time..... I think in four years...There is a complaint that the party leadership is not as accessible as it should be."
Speaking during Chintan Shivir at Udaipur recently, Chavan said that its conduct has enabled the party leaders from across the country to gather and share the issues pertaining to the organization in various states.
