The MP earlier took part in the first-of-its-kind training programme for the Punjab Youth Congress on how to highlight the work of the Congress-led government like the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS), Right to Information (RTI) Act and the anti-corruption drive.

Clad in white kurta-pyjama, he addressed Youth Congress leaders at the Whistling Wuds resort on Ferozepur road on the outskirts of this city.

The day-long training saw Gandhi taking classes and attending them too.

A Bangalore-based consultancy was engaged by the Youth Congress to train its leaders to make people aware of the steps taken by the Manmohan Singh government.

Several ministers are also following austerity measures like travelling economy class and suspending official conferences at five-star hotels.
