Rahul Gandhi, who has been meeting Congress' national and state leaders ever since he took over as its vice president, on Thursday said there was "tremendous talent" in the organisation and he was "very excited" about the exercise.
"I am meeting all the people. Checking from them what they are feeling. I am talking to them. I am trying to understand what they would like. I am quite excited about it," he said.
"As I am speaking to all the people in the Congress party, I am finding a tremendous talent there. And it is just a question of aligning it and getting on with it," Gandhi told reporters outside Parliament House.He was reacting to a question on whether there are any changes on the cards in the All India Congress Committee and about his ongoing meeting with the party members and leaders.
The Congress leader said he was "checking from them what they are feeling" and also "just familiarising" himself.
"I am just familiarising myself a little bit," Gandhi said.
