Rahul Gandhi "will consider" returning as Congress President, sources said Saturday afternoon after it emerged that several senior leaders, including the chief ministers of Punjab, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh, as well as former Defence Minister AK Antony, urged the Kerala MP to come back.
Mr Gandhi quit as Congress chief two years ago after the party's horrendous showing in the 2019 Lok Sabha election; his resignation threw the party into a leadership crisis from which it has yet to fully recover and prompted the reinstatement of his mother, Sonia Gandhi, as interim chief.
Statements urging Mr Gandhi's return as party boss were made at today's meeting of the Congress Working Committee - the party's highest decision-making body - which sources said had all but finalised a schedule for full-scale organisational polls to be held by September next year.
