NEW DELHI - It is almost six months since Sonia Gandhi took over as the interim Congress president but already rumours have started about the return of Rahul Gandhi as the party chief.
The party knows that he had just taken a long break and will come back to take over the party sooner rather than later. Though the family had a well thought out succession plan after Sonia's 19-year-rule, what the Gandhis did not bargain for was a disruption.Rahul was no match to the articulate Modi and the Gandhi scion failed to convince voters why they should opt for the grand old party instead of the Modi-led BJP.
The Congress performance was better than expected in both states and the party has even become part of the ruling coalition in Maharashtra.In states like Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, and now Haryana local leaders managed an impressive electoral show. Insiders say that his trusted aide and Congress General Secretary K C Venugopal was on the phone briefing him about the fast moving developments in Delhi and Mumbai.
On the other hand, Rahul loyalists including his appointees like Haryana PCC chief Ashok Tanwar were removed.
