New Delhi: The outgoing Congress President Sonia Gandhi has appealed to the Congress to elect a new chief. It is believed that she is going to resign. It has been said that Sonia Gandhi has made it clear that she does not want to continue in the post of Congress President. Sonia Gandhi was made the interim president of the Congress Party after the resignation of the then Congress President Rahul Gandhi after the defeat in the 2019 general elections. However, in the meeting of the Congress Working Committee to be held on Monday, the only interim president is being appointed because according to sources, the new president of the entire party can be appointed only after the internal elections of the Congress.
There is a meeting of Congress Working Committee on Monday, in which Rahul Gandhi is likely to become Congress President. During the past few weeks, many Congress leaders have openly demanded that once again Rahul Gandhi be given the command of Congress. Recently, Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala had said that there is a feeling of 100 percent of Congress workers that Rahul Gandhi should lead the party again. Before the meeting, different voices are emerging within the party. In which a class MP and former minister are also included. While a collective leadership has also been demanded. At the same time, another group has demanded the return of Rahul Gandhi. Some Congress leaders, including former ministers, have also written to party president Sonia Gandhi for a change in organizational structure and leadership.
Recently Congress leader and Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh said that the reason for NDA’s success is “the absence of strong, united opposition”, and that at this critical juncture the party will prove to be “harmful.” He further said that the Gandhi family is “fit for the role” as the family has “made a huge contribution to the country’s progress since attaining independence from British rule”.
