“It is the belief of party workers that Rahul Gandhi is the right person to lead the Congress party and to take on Modi government. He is perhaps amongst the rare brand of leaders who have fearlessly questioned the anti-people policies of the Modi government,” Surjewala added.

Sonia Gandhi was appointed as an interim president on August 10, 2019 by the Congress Working Committee (CWC) after Rahul Gandhi stepped down as party chief, taking the responsibility for the party’s disastrous defeat in 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
