Now, Karti Chidambaram called dynast by TN Congress neta; 'became MP because of father'

Soon after the Congress announced a major rejig in its Tamil Nadu unit ahead of the Assembly polls this year, Sivaganga MP Karti Chidambaram on Saturday said such "jumbo committees" serve no purpose as no one will have any authority which would mean "no accountability". 'Some became MP because of father can't understand' Responding to Karti Chidambaram, K Mahendran who was appointed Tamil Nadu Congress General Secretary, along with 50+ other state-level office bearers, said a person who became a parliamentarian "because of his father" is unlikely to understand how "hard work" can make one a state-level party official. "Many hard-working Youth Congress, NSUI, Mahila Congress, and Scheduled Caste Department functionaries have made it into the Tamil Nadu Congress Committees not because of their father," Mahendran said in his tweet. "Some became MP because of their father can't understand," he adding, quoting Karti Chidambaram's tweet. Many hard working youth congress,NSUI, Mahila congress, SC Dept functionaries made it into the @INCTamilNadu Committees not because of their Father. My hardwork from Nsui IYC first time made to state team 👍Hope “ some became MP because of Father can’t understand.@KS_Alagiri https://t.co/THFF9hU37l — Mahendran.. விவசாயி.. விசுவாசி (@iycmahe) January 2, 2021 The Congress on Saturday announced a major rejig in the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) and set up key election-related panels including Karti's father P Chidambaram and former Union minister Mani Shankar Aiyar in them. Karti Chidambaram has been named in the executive committee, Pradesh election committee and the election coordination committee. The party has named 32 vice presidents, 57 general secretaries and 104 secretaries in the jumbo state unit. Ruby R Manoharan has been appointed the treasurer of the party's state unit, a statement issued by Congress general secretary in-charge of organisation KC Venugopal said.

None will have any authority which means no accountability." He tagged the Twitter handles of the Congress, TNCC, Venugopal, AICC Tamil Nadu in-charge Dinesh Gundu Rao, party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi and former party chief Rahul Gandhi. The appointments come months ahead of the Assembly polls, likely to take place in April-May. The Congress is likely to contest the polls as part of the Opposition alliance headed by the DMK to take on the ruling AIADMK coalition. These jumbo committees serve no purpose. None will have any authority which means no accountability. @INCIndia @INCTamilNadu @kcvenugopalmp @dineshgrao @RahulGandhi @priyankagandhi https://t.co/C8p4nIwNSX — Karti P Chidambaram (@KartiPC) January 2, 2021 READ | Centre refutes 'doubts' over COVAXIN approval with data: 'politicisation is disgraceful' READ | AIIMS Director allays fear over COVID jabs, discusses priority list for vaccination drive (With PTI inputs)
