Rahul Gandhi to take over as congress president soon: Sonia Gandhi

Rahul Gandhi will soon take over Congress as president, Sonia Gandhi confirmed today.

Rahul Gandhi, however, stirred clear of the topic as he deflected questions of his appointment by focusing on the controversy surrounding Amit Shah’s son Jay. When asked, his only comment was asking about Jay’s increase in his company’s turnover.

Congress is currently in the middle of internal elections, and the Congress Working Committee, the party’s top decision making body, is to meet soon to decide on dates for the election of a new president.
