The clamor for Rahul Gandhi to take charge as Congress party president is getting louder, with more state units passing resolutions in favor of former party president Rahul Gandhi. The Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee was the first state unit to publicly come out in support of Rahul Gandhi's return as party president.
A resolution to elect Rahul Gandhi as the party's national president was passed on September 18 by the 310 members of the Chhattisgarh Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC), who will vote in the upcoming party presidential election.
The party unit in Gujarat also demanded the same. Rahul Gandhi who is the voice of India's future and youth should be made the President of Indian National Congress.
Besides Rajasthan and Gujarat, the Congress committees of Tamil Nadu, Bihar, Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh, and J&K also resolved to support Rahul Gandhi in the state general council meetings.
Meanwhile, as far as the post of party president is concerned, Rahul Gandhi has so far kept his options open. Gandhi was united when he told the reporters in Kanyakumari that if he did not present his candidature, he would question and respond to why he was opposing the leadership.
The nomination period for the Congress presidential election starts on September 24 and ends on October 2. If there is only one candidate, the Congress will elect a new chief.
