The country's oldest political party, the Congress, is likely to get its permanent president on June 23. In fact, by-elections have been announced in the Congress. According to sources, the polls for the post of Congress president will be held on June 23. Casey Venugopal, general secretary of the organization, announced the election date at a meeting of the Congress working committee.

It may be mentioned that Rahul Gandhi resigned as the Congress president after his defeat in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Attempts were made to persuade him several times but he refused to become Congress president again. Sonia Gandhi was then made the interim president of the Congress. Even now, the Congress is in the hands of Sonia Gandhi.

Under these circumstances, the question is once again whether Rahul Gandhi is ready to accept the post at present. The issue was also raised at a meeting of the Congress Working Committee earlier when rebel leaders demanded by-elections. Now Sonia Gandhi is in the biggest crisis.

Sonia Gandhi has repeatedly asked not to accept the post of Congress president but when Rahul Gandhi decided to resign after the Lok Sabha elections, Sonia Gandhi had no other choice. The Congress party is again facing a crisis as it does not see a separate leadership from the Gandhi family.
