Kamal Nath to meet party leaders in Chennai today

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI MAY 8. The AICC general secretary in charge of Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry, Kamal Nath, will be in Chennai on Friday for a day-long visit to the City. This is his first visit since taking charge of the State last week.

He has, apparently, has given instructions against party leaders flocking to the airport to receive him and has decided to meet everybody at the PCC office itself.

``The PCC is the right place to meet my party functionaries and workers and I will be spending the entire day listening to them'' he told The Hindu.

.

Mr. Kamal Nath, who was looking after Gujarat and Delhi is keen on clamping down on factionalism in the Tamil Nadu unit.

``I don't recognise groups or factions and will not deal with people who seek to represent them'' he said.

The Congress is now seeking to reassert itself as a force to reckon with in Tamil Nadu, with the Lok sabha elections scheduled for next year.
