The Rahul brigade looks set for a strong presence in the party organisation, though the thrust is to blend " youth and experience". The Gandhi scion is also keen to implement a one- man- onepost policy, in a bid to boost efficiency in the party and the government. Rahul, who is the AICC general secretary in charge of the Congress's frontal organisations, may himself shed some baggage.

There is also a view in the Congress that Rahul should be made the United Progressive Alliance ( UPA) vice- chairman.

While his mother Sonia Gandhi, the UPA chairperson, will call the shots in the party organisation, Rahul will focus on a few selected states, party insiders said.

The Congress has to fill the vacancies caused by four general secretaries -- Ghulam Nabi Azad, Mukul Wasnik, V. Narayanasamy, Prithviraj Chavan -- and also senior leader Veerappa Moily, who held the charge of Andhra Pradesh.

AICC secretaries Jairam Ramesh, Ajay Maken and Jitendra Prasada have also been made ministers.

Though there are some good youth leaders, the party will face a crunch of capable helmsmen if it sticks to the one- man- one- post policy.

Bringing in some state chiefs as general secretaries is also being considered.

According to sources, those from the Rahul brigade who are likely to make it to the AICC are Ashok Tanwar, president of the Indian Youth Congress and the Lok Sabha MP from Sirsa in Haryana, East Delhi MP Sandeep Dikshit, and a youth leader from Tamil Nadu, Ramani. Tanwar and Dikshit may be made secretaries.

Rahul is reportedly eager to give AICC secretary Meenakshi Natarajan, who won from Madhya Pradesh, some bigger responsibilities.

He also wants to accommodate Mausam Noor, debutant MP from West Bengal and the niece of veteran Congressman Ghani Khan Choudhury, into the AICC. Manish Tiwary, who won from Ludhiana, may return to the AICC as a spokesman or secretary.
