Generational shift started in Cong in several states, can't write off party: Jairam Ramesh

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has said the much-needed generational shift in the party has already been heralded in several states, making it difficult to write off the grand old party even though many have already penned its obituaries.

Such a change has already been initiated in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, he said, adding that other state units of the party will follow suit.

“There has been a generational shift in Madhya Pradesh. For the Congress, what has happened in Madhya Pradesh is a huge transformation,” Ramesh said, adding the party has shifted from a generation of 70-year-old leaders to those who are 50 years old.
