Congress MPs urge Rahul Gandhi to take back charge as party chief

The Hindu  

August 08, 2022 01:00 am | Updated 01:38 pm IST - NEW DELHI In two weeks, the Congress could notify the final schedule to elect a new party chief but there is still no clarity on whether or not former party chief Rahul Gandhi will accept the demands of his colleagues to take back the reins of the party. The leadership issue was intensely discussed on Friday, when 60-odd MPs including Mr. Gandhi were detained at Kingsway Camp police lines for Congress’ protests against price rise and unemployment. Inconclusive argument “It seemed an inconclusive argument but it was clear that Rahul ji wanted clear positions on every issue and not be vague about some,” the above-cited source said Earlier that day, while addressing a press conference, Mr. Gandhi sidestepped the leadership question by telling reporters that the media briefing was on price rise and unemployment and he would “not allow it to be distracted”. Along with the internal polls, the Congress followed up on the Udaipur Declaration made in mid-May like setting up a political affairs committee in every State, filling up vacant party posts and most importantly, work out the logistics for the Bharat Jodo yatra.
