He also asked CWC to conduct a meeting at earliest and requested that the new chief should not be from the Nehru family.
Rahul Gandhi had offered to quit as the party chief during the May 25 meeting of the Congress Working Committee (CWC), which was called to analyse the party's poor performance in the Lok Sabha polls, in which it managed to win just 52 seats.
The CWC had unanimously rejected his offer to quit but Rahul Gandhi has been apparently firm on his stand.
