Rahul Gandhi likely to be elevated to party president's post: Reports


New Delhi, Jan 13 (Agencies) : Congress President Sonia Gandhi will convene a Congress Working Committee meeting on Tuesday morning at the party headquarters. It will be first meeting since the party lost heavily in Maharashtra, Haryana, Jharkhand and Jammu and Kashmir.

All eyes are likely to remain on party Vice President Rahul Gandhi as there are indications that he might be elevated to the post of President. Sources, however, within the Congress party have repeatedly denied this.

The meeting comes soon after the Congress President had written to state party leaders seeking their inputs into organisational reforms and accountability.

The meeting also gains significance as it comes a day after the Election Commission announced the schedule for the polling to the 70-member Delhi Assembly. The party has ruled the state for 15 years before it witnessed its worst ever performance in the national capital and its downfall thereafter.

The voting in Delhi will be held on February 7 and the counting will take place on February 10.

    Many say that there are a lot of good leaders in the Congress party. If that is the case, then why can't they kick out the fake Gandhi family? They need to think beyond the fake Gandhi's or the party will meet its DOOM.

    RAHUL GANDHI IS A YOUNG, EDUCATED AND NON CORRUPT LEADER. EVERY POLITICAL PARTY HAS THE PRESIDENT BUT CONGRESS BELIEVES ON THE TEAM WORK. BJP IS ONE MAN SHOW PARTY, THEY MADE ELECTION CAMPAIGN AND PEOPLE VOTED FOR MODI. CONGRESS IS CAMPAIGNING IN THE NAME OF THE PARTY AND IDEOLOGY. IT IS NOT "AB KI BAAR MODI SARKA" IT IS "AB KI BAAR CONGRESS KI SARKAAR".
    ALL THE BEST RAHUL GANDHI.

    If Mrs. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is made president of Congress Party, we will fully support her, but she has to get full clearance from all the wrong undoing of her husbands evil act, Mr. Corrupt king Robert Vadra, it is fully documented around the world, he is corrupt more than all Indian politician, no one can hide that fact, why Mr. Rahual Gandhi & Mrs Priyanka Gandhi be made president? Please congress party for god sake, don't you have anyone else in Congress party, to lead the party. Sorry congress you are finished, just like Roman Emperor, everything has to come to an end, accept it. And your end has come.
    We are Satisfied with PM Mr. Modi, if he screws up, that is the end of him & his party.

    some people are comparing someone to indira gandhi.there is no leader worth his salt post independence who can match indira gandhi just by thier superficial looks.

    indiras gandhis patriotism towards her nation india was unmatchable.she was told during those days as only male in her cabinet.

    modi also could not be compared to indira atleast now bcoz leaders mettle will be tested if the country faces crisis or in thier ability to bring the country out of crisis.

    green revolution,winning 1971 bangladesh liberation war defying usa's war threat on india,decimating khalistan liberation movement are few of her
    unforgettable achievements.

    weakness of her was again dynasty politics and imposing emergency which caused her downfall.

    Delcan, Mumbai.

    I too fully agree with you about Priyanka's charisma and some hidden (unexplored) quantum energy in her. We have to also remember that she is the grandchild of iron lady, late Indira Gandhi. In my opinion she has to take active part in politics and shape her hidden capacities to nurture herself to be a strong politician and a strong contender within the party. Cowed pulling combined with quality of a good orator (referring to Mr. Modi) will surely bring major change in political scenario in due course of time. Where there is a will there is a way.
    For the time being we have to accept that Modiji’s government is trying to bring badly needed economic change and other developments what he has promised. Of course, change in governance is always welcome in a democratic country.

    Flavian,
    Agree with you, however, there is nothing wrong if a member of the Gandhi family occupies a position of importance within the Congress party provided they merit it and not just because of their 'Gandhi' name. Making any 'Gandhi' family member ineligible just because of their 'Gandhi' name even though a particular member merits it would be unfair and undemocratic.
    I am making the case of Priyanka here who I believe has demonstrated even with her little exposure and interaction with the public and the press that she has the potential to be a good leader.
    I believe that even the campaign against her husband Robert Vadra will not detract her. She seems more than capable of dealing with that.
    Just being senior is not enough as one needs to be a crowd puller and charismatic. Priyanka is junior but fits the profile of being a crowd puller.
    Sorry BJP guys this might make you a bit nervous as your Congress mukt Bharat dream may just remain that - a dream.
    If I get many disagrees here it will be a confirmation that the BJP guys are indeed nervous of Priyanka !

    Priyanka (undoubteldy resembles Indira, with her careful imitation of sareess, looks, hairstyle, showing concern with downtrodden ladies, emotional quotient etc), but let me tell you, she lacks brains too and has never seen life outside)! ...it is good to keep mum and show yourself as intelligent , rather than open your mouth and prove your idiot! this rule applies to her! she will be disaster too! ...problem with new generation of gandhis is they are home schooled- ill advisers - not in public life-never rose to higher ranks from below! the last leader they had was Sanjay Gandhi- who had some stuff!...

    next one is Varun Gandhi (not because he is in BJP), but because, he knows how it is to live like a commoner and seen power corridors as an outsider and copies Nehru and not Indira!

    whole congress were ridiculing him publicly in loksabha.but the way he silenced them and put forth his points just show the salt in which leaders are made.superficial features and family tag will only take you so far but if you want to rule a educated/aspirational.restless nation of today unlike prev india you need a grassroot leader with a vision.

    people have changed now in india as there are very few illeiterate these days.yes, there are all lot of poor people but no dumb peoples in india now like it was before.

    go to any rural place and see.how forward they are.they know more of international brands,gadgets and happenings of the world more than us living in metros.

    people voting on charisma and family lineage are all passe.
    even modi is voted for his capability and for being a taskmaster/go getter as people have seen
    his work in gujrat and not for his oratory style or charisma.

    faking zamaana has long gone.
    if that was the case sushma who had good oratory skills than modi and already made her mark in delhi politics would have become pm candidate.people knew that real doer is modi and sushma,advani,rajnath,jaitley are all gas.

    Seriously speaking, Rahul Gandhi is not corrupt like his clan, he is clean, has got brilliant ideas and is seriously concerned about the development of India. I was once sitting with the small audience in a group where RG was speaking. What i find is that he is too immature, he can not express his ideas, but you will have to imbibe what he says and infer accordingly. He doesnt have any plans to implement his brilliant ideas i say really brilliant ideas. So you can not call him a visionary.
    He could have been successful, had he been given an opportunity to choose his career.

    Now, at this point of time making him the President of the party is suicidal. He doesn't have the capability to handle other seniors who have been in the limelight just by licking .....

    It is amply clear for those who have watched Rahul Gandhi's body language and facial expressions whenever he faced the media alone or as part of a group that he is a 'reluctant' politician. It appears as if he is there because someone (Sonia) has ordered him to be there.
    I believe this reluctance stems from a lack of interest which is why he does not take any initiative, he is disinterested in learning, he lacks aggression and the ability to be a spearhead. Unless his personality gets a big make over the Congress will be in troubled waters but I will continue to vote for them until I find an alternative truly secular party with an all India reach (not AAP).
    Rahul is not blessed with charisma unlike his sister Priyanka who is a 'natural' when it comes to politics and leadership.
    I am a supporter of the Congress's ideology but I believe the party needs to be revamped big time weeding out all the corrupt and arrogant guys and bringing in fresh blood who are aggressive and forward thinking.
    Also the Gandhis must make way for new faces and keep the leader's position open to competition for those who merit it.

    it is a good decision. He is a honest leader with vision. By the time Mr.Modi complete the Five years, he could learn a lot and chance to become PM.Wish you all the best for Rahul. BE BRAVE AND TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY. The life is short and whatever you want to be done for nation do it without wasting of time and think. Avoid negative thinking and call up all your Chief minister and president for a two day meeting and discuss all issue with them. Training and education for the new trend and Modi's approach needs to be discussed deeply. The writer is a former KSU worker.Tnaks

    When Congress was in 3 digits and was in power..then also no one took pappu seriously. Now when it is in two digits...no question of taking pappu seriously...and of course when it comes to one digit (that is himself)I am sure bacha huva congress will take it seriously..to join BJP. End of a Dongi Congi.

    It is a good choice. The new CWC TEAM should be a blend (50:50)of seniority cum merit and youth comprising one representative from each major state. Rahul should meet the press and convey his views particularly on the pattern of the American President. He could convey his views and need not take questions. Madam Sonia and Priyanka should also be a part of the CWC to give proper direction to the congress party.

    Rahul Gaddha is wrong choice. Infact he is a dud and it will be better for Congressmen to organize a party coup and throw Rahul and his mumma out ASAP.

    Party president is not Govt post.
    It is for the party to decide who should be their torch bearer.
    Anything! Either it should turnout to be best or should become worst and then disappear!
    Contesting just for showing presence, is of no help party, people or the nation.
    If Rahul really tries to understand problems of India, find ways and work hard to overcome them, by shedding ego, retaining credible, consistent and good people, forging alliance with good parties, he can bring desired changes. Louis Pasteur who developed first vaccine against rabies was below average student!

    Rahul may become the President of the Congress party provided he co-opts young Congress leaders as party office bearers as well as use them to enlarge the party image.The young party spokes persons are really excellent.

    Rahul can lead the party to victory in next election ,but he should not be autocratic like modi,rajiv gandhi etc. If he does team work along with leaders like Scindia,Pilot ,Ramesh ..he has high chance of becoming pm. Now people know that modi is only doing bhashans within 2 years people will start deserting bjp .

    He knows he will NEVER be PM of this COUNTRY ever!! .. like his mother, he is born in Italy and citizen there once... and Italy never lets INDIAN borns to be PM there! unless Italy Parliament changes this in their constituion, he would never be let to become a PM here.. (even otherwise, his party will never come to power until he is there).. so he will have "One post" funda and will continue to be President till his death and some Sachin Pilot kinds will be PM designated!.. but anyways, even still it would be a dream only, becos he is not AMit shah.. vhe vhe vhe
