Congress, the oldest party of the country, is headed for a big change. Decades later, she may elect a non-Gandhi as the president. According to media reports, the current interim president of Congress, Sonia Gandhi, has offered to become the president of Rajasthan CM and senior leader Ashok Gehlot.
However, Gehlot has said many times that Rahul Gandhi should be made the president. Recently, he had also said that if Rahul does not become the president, there will be disappointment in the party and many people will sit at home.
The election of the new Congress president is to be held by September 21. The party is going to release its detailed program soon. Meanwhile, a media report states that Sonia Gandhi met Rajasthan CM Gehlot at his residence on Tuesday. It is understood that in this he urged Gehlot to take over the reins of the party. Sonia Gandhi also told Gehlot that she could not handle the responsibility of the party due to ill health.
Gehlot, however, reiterated that Rahul Gandhi is the unanimous choice for the president’s post. On his way to Ahmedabad after meeting Sonia Gandhi, Gehlot said at the Delhi airport that he is repeatedly saying that the party can be reconstituted only after Rahul Gandhi becomes the president.
Without him becoming the president, the leaders and workers will be disappointed. We will put constant pressure on Rahul Gandhi to take over as party president.
No one can force Rahul adamant: Digvijay Singh
On the other hand, senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh has said that if Rahul Gandhi is adamant not to become the Congress President, then no one can force him.
Two targets with one arrow: If Gehlot becomes president, pilot can be CM:
Sonia Gandhi’s offer to Gehlot can have two meanings. One is that to suppress the dissatisfaction of the party in Rajasthan, Gehlot can be promoted to the party president and by giving the post of CM to Sachin Pilot, he can be fielded in the electoral fray of Rajasthan with a new face. In this way, the party will also target Rajasthan and will be able to initiate a big change in the Congress by making non-Gandhi president at the national level.
