NEW DELHI: Amid continuing suspense over Rahul Gandhi’s willingness to take the reins of Congress again, the party is abuzz with speculations over the much-awaited election of party chief to be held soon and who will finally be in the saddle.

Rahul is under pressure to accept the post that he quit in the aftermath of Congress’ decimation in 2019 elections. He is being persuaded by his loyalists as well as by veterans, who are impressing upon him the need to provide stability to the party after around three years of drift during which Congress has failed to win any election.
Many believe Rahul will have to finally accept the job. The settling of the leadership issue in a convincing manner has implications not just for Congress but also for the crowded anti-BJP bloc which is witnessing increasing jostling for the 2024 elections.
