Cong Divided on ‘Revival’, Demand for Rahul’s Return Grows Louder

After nearly 23 Congress leaders wrote to the interim chief Sonia Gandhi seeking the party’s revival, several senior leaders in the party seemed to be critical of the move touting it as “ill-timed” and “suspicious”.

As reports of Sonia Gandhi offering to resign in response are doing the rounds, the echo for Rahul Gandhi to return as the Congress president also grew louder through the day.
