New Delhi(Wishav Warta): Congress president Sonia Gandhi confirmed on Friday that her son, Rahul, would soon take over from her as the party chief, making it clear that ongoing organisational polls would clinch the much-awaited generational change.
“You have been asking this for so many years and it’s now happening,” Sonia Gandhi told a TV channel, pointing at Rahul Gandhi at a function. Her comments indicate that he is likely to take charge after Diwali.
The Congress Working Committee (CWC) will meet before Diwali to approve the election schedule for the post of Congress president. Almost all the states, as well as party wings such as the Youth Congress, have already passed resolutions seeking Rahul Gandhi’s elevation as the party chief.
