Rahul Gandhi has resigned. For real. What next?

India Today  

Ending days of will he, won't he drama, Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday officially stepped down from the post of Congress president. In the letter, Rahul Gandhi took responsibility for the Congress's election defeat and said, "Accountability is critical for the future growth of our party." "At times, I stood completely alone and am extremely proud of it," Rahul Gandhi also said, adding that the Congress party must quickly begin the process to elect a new president. However, Rahul Gandhi, who has removed the designation of Congress president from his Twitter profile, has set the ball rolling for the Congress to at least confront his resignation. Now, at the meeting the Congress Working Committee will take up Rahul Gandhi's resignation and decide whether to accept or reject it.
