Congress Working Commitee rejects Rahul`s resignation |
Main opposition party Congress`s Working Committee (CWC) on Saturday unanimously rejected Rahul Gandhi`s offer to resign as party president after the Lok Sabha poll debacle. The committee authorised him to overhaul and restructure the party at all levels. The meeting deliberated on the reasons behind the Congress`s defeat in the elections for four hours with various leaders, urging Rahul Gandhi to continue to provide leadership to the party. Top Congress leaders from across the country on Saturday got together to review the Lok Sabha poll drubbing, as the party`s highest decision-making body met. Party`s general secretary, Priyanka Gandhi was furious at the leaders and felt that Congress leaders did not throw their full weight behind Rahul Gandhi`s campaign against Narendra Modi and aired her anguish at the CWC meeting on Saturday. In his address, Rahul Gandhi offered his resignation as the party president. The CWC unanimously and with one voice rejected the same and requested the Congress President for his leadership and guidance in these challenging times.
