Meeting Congress MPs, MLAs, councillors and party functionaries from Delhi at the state Congress office, Gandhi said he would tackle indiscipline with an iron hand.

With early Lok Sabha elections a possibility and Delhi assembly polls due in November this year, Gandhi insisted on strengthening the state leadership and better coordination between the party and the government.

“He woke up all of us. We will fight elections together,” Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit told reporters after the meeting.

Gandhi’s call for better co-ordination between the party and the Delhi government comes after reported differences between Dikshit and Delhi Pradesh Congress president and MP Jai Prakash Aggarwal.

Aggarwal, however, insisted the differences had been resolved.

“We had differences. It is a family and there was nothing unusual in having differences. But today, the differences were resolved. We will work together,” Aggarwal said.
