Rahul Gandhi offers to resign as party president at Congress Working Committee meeting

The Hindu  

Congress president Rahul Gandhi is learnt to have offered his resignation to the Congress Working Committee that is currently meeting in New Delhi to analyze the results of the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. Mr. Gandhi's continuance as the leader of the party has become difficult as the Congress has lost not only two consecutive Lok Sabha elections but he also lost his own seat of Amethi to BJP's Smriti Irani. Party insiders say the roadmap for Congress’ revival as a national party will not only have to look at building strong regional leaders like Captain Amarinder Singh in Punjab but also consider options outside the Gandhi family to head the party nationally. Suggestions also range from appointing senior political leaders as working presidents to assist Mr. Gandhi if he continues to appoint an entirely new team of general secretaries and State in-charges who can work with the grassroot workers to turn around the party’s fortunes.
