New Delhi: Sonia Gandhi will step down as the interim president in Congress for a long time demanding a full-time president. After leaving Sonia’s post, there is a challenge before the Congress to choose a new president because Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi have already said that the president of the Congress should be someone other than the Gandhi family. Therefore, there is currently a lot of doubt about choosing the party president from the Gandhi family. In such a situation, the question also arises that if either Rahul or Priyanka do not take responsibility for the post, then in whose hands will the command of the Congress go? Who will be the new president of Congress? The party has two options for this. Either members of the Congress Working Committee choose one name or the organization should be elected. At this time there is no shortage of such leaders in the party who can serve the Congress.
If we look at the leaders of the Congress from North to South, then there is no shortage of talent in the party. There are many faces who can handle the responsibility of the party president. The party also has experienced leaders like Ghulam Nabi Azad, P Chidambaram, Ahmed Patel, Mukul Wasnik, Kapil Sibal, Digvijay Singh, Milind Deora, Shashi Tharoor, Manish Tiwari, who can be handed over the command. Many of these people have long experience of holding public positions. Apart from these, if the president elects a senior leader, then the party does not have a shortage of faces.
The Congress also has many stalwarts like former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, AK Antony, Sushil Kumar Shinde who have been advising the party from time to time based on their decades of experience. In such a situation, they can also be given the command of the party. At present, Congress also has Chief Ministers in 4 states – Captain Amarinder Singh, Ashok Gehlot, Bhupesh Baghel and V Narayanasamy.
The decision will be made on Monday!
However, what will be the final decision of the party and who will be made the president, the Congress Working Committee will meet on Monday. In this meeting, a decision can be taken regarding the new president of the party. Even before this meeting, different voices are rising in the party, where some leaders are advocating collective leadership, while a section is adamant on the demand to make Rahul Gandhi the president.
