Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge may continue as Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, say reports.

If Kharge holds two posts, it will be a complete reversal of the "One Person, One Post" policy that Rahul Gandhi had decided upon while addressing the Ashok Gehlot rumblings in Rajasthan.

Gehlot wanted to run for the Congress president polls, while remaining Rajasthan CM.

Sonia Gandhi has now called for a meeting of the Congress Parliamentary Party's "strategy group" tomorrow.

Mallikarjun Kharge, Jairam Ramesh and KC Venugopal have been called for the meet from Rajya Sabha, reports NDTV.

Digvijaya Singh and P Chidambaram, who are seen as frontrunners to replace Kharge in Rajya Sabha, have not been invited to the meeting, reports NDTV.
