According to reports, Rahul Gandhi, the Congress’s Member of parliament, quit the party top post last year, is not willing to accept the post again. On the other hand, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also denies to take on a bigger role but to remain as a general secretary.

The Congress Working Committee, the party’s top decision-making body, will be meeting today amid a massive controversy over a letter by more than 20 top party leaders calling for sweeping reforms, introspection and “a full-time, visible leadership”.

Minister Amarinder Singh and his Chhattisgarh counterpart Bhupesh Baghel pledged support to Sonia Gandhi, the interim chief of the party when she said she would resign.

This was “not the time to raise such an issue, given the need for strong opposition against BJP-led NDA that was out to destroy country’s constitutional ethos and democratic principles,” said Amarinder Singh.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, tweeted, “If she has made up her mind — I believe Rahul Gandhi should come ahead and be the Congress President as the country faces the biggest challenge to save our Constitution – Democracy.”

Rahul Gandhi, before the Abandonment of the top post last year after the party’s second consecutive defeat in general elections, said the party should search for a new leader outside the Gandhi family. He has specifically said his mother and sister should not be roped in.

Sonia Gandhi, who took a backseat over the last few years owing to her health issues, grudgingly took charge of the party after repeated requests from the party leaders.

Now she is 73, and is speculated that she may announce her resignation or may give a deadline today in the meeting.
