NDTV
Sonia Gandhi presented the offer and said she is ready "to make any and every sacrifice as Congress workers and the CWC wish in the interest of the party".
Congress president Sonia Gandhi, in her speech to senior leaders yesterday at a meeting to discuss the party's latest election defeats, offered to resign along with her children Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
Rahul Gandhi, a Congress MP, does not hold an official post, but functions as a top leader. Mrs Gandhi presented the offer as "ultimate sacrifice in the interest of the party".
Senior Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Choudhary, who attended the Congress Working Committee meeting, confirmed that this comment was made, as did other sources in the Congress who spoke to NDTV after the meeting of its top decision-making body.
"Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi said that she along with her family members Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra are ready to sacrifice their posts for the party, but we all rejected this," Mr Choudhary told news agency ANI.
