October 24, 2013 13:43

Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi's emotional speech in Rajasthan yesterday saying he may also be killed like his father and grandmother before him, has not gone down well with the party, say sources in Delhi.

A Union Minister spoke to a few general secretaries of the AICC and realised that Rahul had rehearsed his speech before Priyanka and Sonia Gandhi before it had been okayed. No inputs were given by any senior Congress leaders.

Congressmen cracked jokes that the mother-son-daughter triumvirate were in fact the real core committee members of the Congress

The 'family draft' will not work, believe Congress party seniors and they want him to share his speech ideas with friends of the late Rajiv Gandhi and Indira Gandhi who are still around at 24 Akbar Road.
