"My question is that why all arguments come to halt on one post? Why this is debated at the national level? Why a particular person or post is discussed.Why nobody talks about reform in politics? Why nobody is ready to change the system? The talk should centre around how we change the political system," he said.

Gandhi, who had earlier said that his party would "learn" from the Aam Admi Party, also flagged his "differences" with Arvind Kerjiwal's party on some issues.

"Congress is a strong and active party.Congress has changed the shape of politics in the country earlier also and will do so in future as well.We have been raising these issues since I came in politics.

"Our decisions should be keeping in mind the secure future of people rather than their short term gains," the Congress Vice President said.
