He said under his leadership, infusing fresh blood into the party is key.
"A combination of new and experienced leadership is ideal and we will try to see that young people, who are already in the party, are given equal representation and find place in the decision-making body of the Congress," said Bhan.
Brushing aside allegations of being a mere "rubber stamp" and that party affairs would be run by former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Bhan said, "I have been appointed by party president Sonia Gandhi and have been a cabinet minister during Hooda's regime. I have the experience of governance and being an old Congressman."
Bhan said, "In the coming days, other working presidents will meet all party leaders and put up a fight to take on the misrule of the Manohar Lal Khattar-led government. The people of Haryana are waiting for a change of government."
