Rahul may take over as Congress chief after Diwali: Sachin Pilot

New Delhi, 1 October(Wishav Warta):  Rahul Gandhi may take over as the Congress president shortly after Diwali, Rajasthan leader Sachin Pilot said on Sunday, stressing that the time had come for the party vice president to lead from the front. The Gandhi confidant also said the last names of leaders should not be treated as a disqualification in politics. It was the performance of a leader that ultimately decided his worth, as a surname could only take him “so far”, he said. Pilot added that Gandhi’s elevation had been in the pipeline for long.
