Bhubaneswar, Feb. 10: Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Monday warned party leaders against indiscipline and asked them work together to unseat the Naveen Patnaik-led BJD government in the state in the ensuing Lok Sabha and Assembly elections.

Mr Gandhi, who concluded his two-day visit to the state in the evening, warned that indiscipline would not be tolerated in the party.

“It is the Congress party, which is responsible for its own defeat, not other parties. The party will perform well, if all the leaders work together. Factionalism and indiscipline have led to repeated defeats in the state. From now on, action will be taken against the leaders, whoever he or she may be, for indulging in such activities,” said during interactive sessions with block and district level leaders.

The Gandhi scion also asked the leaders not to sit in the capital city Bhubaneswar and reach out to the people in order to propagate the welfare programmes initiated by the UPA government.
