If Rahul Gandhi doesn't believe, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will become party president, Congress president election likely in April

- Rahul has not given a small yes yet

New Delhi Dated 16th December 2020 Wednesday

Informed sources said that the election of the Congress party president is likely to be held in April 2021. All eyes were on Rahul Gandhi but if Rahul did not believe then the idea of ​​making Priyanka Gandhi the president was going on.

The sources said that consideration was being given to hold the elections in a way that would cause less damage than the losses in the 2019 parliamentary elections. It may be recalled that after the crushing defeat in the 2019 parliamentary elections, Rahul Gandhi resigned from the presidency and Sonia Gandhi accepted the responsibility of the interim presidency.

Most members of the party believe that if anyone becomes president except the Gandhi family, he will not be able to function with complete independence. The group also believed that the leadership of the Gandhi family was needed to win the elections. Shashi Tharoor, Kapil Sibal, Grilam Nabi Azad and 22 other leaders wrote letters to Sonia Gandhi to give the party a permanent presidency. The letter was crushed as a rebellion and pro-Gandhi family elements accused the author of being pro-BJP. When Ghulam Nabi Azad and others were offended by this, Sonia persuaded them.

Following the current Cora infection, it was decided to postpone the elections until April. Consideration was being given to how to conduct the election and other options.
