November 23, 2017 15:15
Sonia Gandhi's role in the Congress will remain "undiminished" even after Rahul Gandhi's elevation as party president and she will continue to guide it, senior party leader M Veerappa Moily said here.
Moily said the Congress would take "aggressive and sustained steps" to ensure that Rahul Gandhi becomes the prime minister in 2019, asserting that "he has matured enough to take over not only the reins of the party but also of the government at the centre".
A change in the leadership will change everything in the party, he admitted but added that Rahul Gandhi will "consider both the wisdom and also the youthful vigour" of its leaders.
"We all wish that he will take over the reins of prime ministership in 2019. For that, whatever the steps... aggressive steps... sustained steps will have to be taken, they will be taken in the party," Moily told PTI. -- PTI
