Chorus grows louder in Congress for Rahul as president

Express News Service

NEW DELHI: Congress leaders from throughout the nation have began exerting strain for the return of Rahul Gandhi as social gathering president. The social gathering’s state items in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Assam, Odisha and Gujarat have handed resolutions that Gandhi be introduced again as social gathering president. Other state items are prone to take cue and undertake comparable resolutions.

Rahul Gandhi had resigned from the publish after the social gathering’s loss within the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and has since rejected calls to take again the social gathering’s reins and indicated that he might not change his thoughts.

With the method for Congress president’s election scheduled to set into movement on September 22, all state items have been requested by the social gathering’s central management to go a decision authorising the incoming president to nominate state unit chiefs and AICC members. While passing this decision, the PCCs have began concurrently passing one other decision calling for the return of Rahul Gandhi as social gathering president.

The decision searching for Rahul’s return was moved in Chhattisgarh by chief minister Bhupesh Baghel and seconded by PCC chief Mohan Markam, state Assembly Speaker Charan Das Mahant, and ministers TS Singh Deo, Shivkumar Dahariya and Premsai Singh Tekam.

Baghel mentioned “If similar resolutions are passed in other states, then Rahul ji should rethink his decision of returning as Congress president.” He mentioned the social gathering’s presidential election is nearing and “retaining in view the emotions of social gathering employees, I feel Rahul ji will agree (to turn into social gathering chief).”

As the demand for his return as Congress president gained momentum, Rahul Gandhi as soon as once more mentioned “whether I become president of Congress or not will become clear when the elections for the president post take place. But, I have clearly decided what I will do and there is no confusion in my mind.”

At a press convention in Kanyakumari through the Bharat Jodo Yatra, he had mentioned “wait till that time (when elections take place) and when that time comes, you will see, and if I don’t stand, you can ask me then ‘why didn’t you stand’ and I will answer the question for you.”

Rahul’s remarks have been seen as a sign that he would possibly keep on with his earlier stance of not taking over the social gathering chief’s publish.

The notification for the Congress president’s election will likely be out on September 22 and the method for submitting nominations will likely be held from September 24 to 30.

The final date for withdrawal of nominations is October 8 and the election, if required, will likely be held on October 17. The outcomes will likely be out on October 19.
