Rahul was earlier expected to take over as Congress president before October 31, but the ongoing Gujarat election campaign delayed it.
Once again Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi’s coronation as Congress president has been delayed. This is the third time the announcement is delaying.
The new updates are saying that the 46-year-old will now take charge any day after November 19 and before the December 9 Gujarat Assembly Election. Rahul Gandhi is expected to be the only nomination to be filed in the CWC meeting as the next president.
Current party Chief and Rahul’s mother Sonia Gandhi will call a meeting of the powerful Congress Working Committee (CWC) only after November 19, which happens to be the 100th birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
Sonia, who has had health issues lately, is also reported to have told senior Congress leaders about her plans to let son Rahul take over soon. At the same time, the Congress vice-president is now leading from the front by running an aggressive campaign against the ruling BJP.
