'Change the unaccountable, centralised system'

Jaipur, Jan 20 (IANS): Newly-appointed Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi Sunday stressed the need to change the "centralised system" which is unaccountable to the people, and respect the youths' demand for a greater role in decision-making.

"The time has come to question the centralised, unaccountable system. Decision making must shift from Delhi to the panchayat," Gandhi said, speaking on the last day of three-day introspection meet of the All India Congress Committee (AICC).

He said there is a "young and impatient India" which is now demanding "greater role" in decision making.

"Until we start to respect and empower people, we cannot change anything in this country... all are closed systems, designed for mediocrity, mediocrity dominates," he said.

Gandhi was Saturday named the Congress vice president, making him officially the number two in the party after his mother and Congress chief Sonia Gandhi.

    Rahul, congratulations being made Congress VP. No matter how good one is, impossible to get acceptable to all. What we need is talented, honest, hardworking, fearless & aggressive leader who can bring results. Topmost agenda should be curb Corruption in Govt &
    private sector. Bring strict auditing system in all finance related issues, influence young people to join govt. Old is no gold, old is burden, Liability. Talent is future. Old is more like continuing corruption.

    Rahul Gandhi is talking like a Leader of Opposition... Can somebody tell Rahul Gandhi that of 65 years of Independent India, Congress ruled it for 52 years. so that he will then know who created and misused this system.
