Rahul ascension; Cong says not yet |
There is a buzz in the media that Rahul Gandhi will soon take charge as Congress president in a major organisational reshuffle but the party denied any such immediate possibility. Even party chief Sonia Gandhi, who is on a visit to her constituency Rae Bareli, refused to comment on the matter.The noise for an overhaul grew after a series of defeats in assembly elections with several Congress functionaries coming out in the open demanding change and Rahul`s much-delayed elevation to the top post replacing his mother.Party spokesperson Sushmita Dev said they all want Rahul to take over and as and when it will happen, the party will make a proper statement. Sonia is silent and party is hesitant because they all know that Rahul will run away if they force any responsibility on him. Dev also called a media speculation about Rahul`s imminent elevation and also on the possibility of Priyanka Gandhi becoming active in Uttar Pradesh where assembly polls are due in 2017.
