We'll see: Rahul on whether he will be Cong prez

April 08, 2022 13:15

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi arrives at the residence of RJD leader Sharad Yadav. Sharad Yadav when asked if Rahul Gandhi should be made party chief says, "Why not? If somebody runs Congress round the clock, it is Rahul Gandhi. I think he should be made the party president. Only then can something big be done."

And Rahul Gandhi's response?

"We'll see about it...," he says.

The Assembly polls verdict raised serious questions about the future of the Congress, which was neither able to retain power in Punjab nor effectively challenge the incumbent in Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur. In UP, a two-cornered race pushed Congress to a distant margin.

Rahul Gandhi has shied away from leading the Congress. As of now, the party has no president. Sonia Gandhi is only the interim president of the Congress party.

"I agree with what he (Sharad Yadav) said today that the country is in a very bad situation. Hatred is being spread and country is being divided. We have to bring the nation together and once again walk on the path of the brotherhood which has been a part of our history," Rahul said.
