Sonia confirms Rahul will be Cong President

“You have been asking this for so many years and it’s now happening,” a smiling Gandhi told a private news channel, pointing at Rahul Gandhi, now the Congress Vice President.  

She was speaking to the channel on the sidelines of a function in which the third volume of former President Pranab Mukherjee’s book was released. Rahul Gandhi, however, refused to discuss the issue. 

He instead referred to a controversy over BJP President Amit Shah’s son Jay Shah. The Congress Working Committee, the party’s highest decision-making body, is expected to meet soon to decide the dates for the election of a new president.
