Rahul Gandhi likely to remain Congress president, no CWC meeting planned

New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi is likely to remain Congress president, sources said on Tuesday. The decision comes after top Congress leaders including Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Ahmed Patel met at Rahul’s residence.

It is also being said that no meeting of the Congress Working Committee (CWC) has been planned as of yet.

Rahul had offered to resign from the post of Congress president in the wake of party’s debacle in Lok Sabha election 2019. However, his resignation was unanimously rejected by the party leaders.

The Congress party had met on Saturday. Sources had said that despite much persuasion, he was adamant on resigning from the post and said that he will continue to strengthen the party and, to do so, the post is not required.
