Sonia Gandhi

Ending 77-day curiosity on who will head Congress party after another Lok Sabha poll debacle, the CWC on Saturday night announced that Sonia Gandhi will be the interim chief of the party. Rahul Gandhi had resigned 'taking responsibility' of the poll debacle.

The party's top decision-making body will again meet at around 8PM to discuss upon the reports by five panel made today to finalise the name of successor of Rahul Gandhi.

Ruling out change in leadership in Congress, Sonia Gandhi on Saturday said that her son and party president led the election campaign fearlessly; she praised Rahul Gandhi for his brave attitude during the election campaign.

Sonia Gandhi has been elected leader of Congress Parliamentary Party once again at a meeting of Party MPs on Saturday. Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh suggested her name, said a media report. Sonia Gandhi, who won Lok Sabha Elections 2019 seat from Rai Bareli, is the chairperson of Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA).

In a breaking exposure, media exposed Christian James Michel, 57-year-old British arms dealer who allegedly helped AgustaWestland to bag the February 2010 deal for 12 AW101 choppers, mainly meant for VVIP use. An Enforcement Directorate chargesheet included the name of Senior Congress leader Ahmed Patel and one "Mrs Gandhi" linked to the deal.

“People of the country are getting victimised but PM Modi pretends to be the victim himself,” Sonia Gandhi reportedly said during the key CWC meet ahead of Lok Sabha Polls 2019.

The Congress party on Thursday released list of 15 candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha Polls, naming UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, 72, as the party’s candidate from Rae Bareli and Rahul from the Amethi seat.

The Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Amethi on February 27 has been cancelled, officials said on February 20.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's entry to politics seems to be a sign of relief for Congress President Rahul Gandhi and his mother Sonia Gandhi, the former party President. Both mother and son have been spotted holidaying in Goa. Seems like, they are soaking in the sunlight on the beach shacks after a a turbulent winter session of Parliament. They surprised patrons at the popular Fisherman's Wharf restaurant in South Goa upon their sudden arrival.

No more guest appearance, now Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has formally entered into the sea of politics. She has been appoints as the general secretary of Uttar Pradesh Congress, ahead of Election 2019 scheduled to be held on May. The announcement was made by the Indian National Congress on January 23 and the stunning Priyanka will take charge starting February.
