Congress leader questions Rahul's elevation as party president

November 30, 2017 09:16

A week before Rahul Gandhi's expected elevation as Congress president, party leader Shehzad Poonawalla said former's elevation is a 'selection not an election'.

Claiming that the poll process to elect party president has been stacked in Rahul Gandhi's favour just because he belongs to the Gandhi family Poonawalla took to Twitter and expressed his views by saying, "Raising an issue nobody in my party - the Congress will have guts to raise- my conscience will not allow me to stay quiet anymore on dynasty/sycophancy."

He also tagged his brother Tehseen Poonawalla to his tweet and said, "@tehseenp has no idea about this issue else he would have stopped me too."

Tehseen is the brother-in-law of Congress president Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra.

In a series of tweets, Tehseen announced to end his relationship with Shehzad officially.
