NEW DELHI, JAN. 15. The National Students' Union of India (NSUI) president, Ashok Tanwar, has been appointed the new president of the Indian Youth Congress. Mr. Tanwar succeeds Randeep Singh Surjewala who has been appointed working president of the Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee and is also an AICC secretary. The Congress president, Sonia Gandhi, cleared the appointment of Mr. Tanwar on Friday. According to the AICC general secretary in charge of frontal organisations, Ashok Gehlot, Mr. Tanwar is the first person from the Scheduled Caste category to hold the post of the Indian Youth Congress president. Stating that organisational experience and long association with the party had gone in favour of Mr. Tanwar, the AICC leader said his immediate task would be "to mobilise the youth for taking on the communal forces in view of the Assembly elections in Jharkhand, Bihar and Haryana." Beginning his political career from the Jawaharlal Nehru University in 1997, Mr. Tanwar in his short but impressive stint in the party was appointed the NSUI secretary in 2000 and the NSUI president in 2000. He had earned a reputation as a good organiser after the party did well in the university and colleges polls in the capital and other parts of the country. With the nomination of Mr. Tanwar, the Congress has tried to send across a message that it was the only party safeguarding and promoting the interests of the people from the backward section of society.
