Who is this Congress president?

The old guard is firmly behind Priyanka Gandhi's elevation despite a section of young leaders backing Rahul Gandhi's plan. Even as Rahul opposes a family member at the helm, her Sonbhadra show has won her many admirers both in the party and outside. The cabal around Sonia Gandhi is insistent that they have a winner on their hands after Priyanka's intervention in UP. This remains unacceptable to Rahul.

His remarks came two days after the government passed the RTI Bill in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday amid strong protests from the opposition parties.

Rahul Gandhi also asserted that a "weak" foreign ministry denial wouldn’t do and Prime Minister Modi must tell the nation what transpired in the meeting between him and the US president.

Denying any leadership crisis in the Congress, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Monday said that Rahul Gandhi is still the captain of the party and will remain so in future.

Actor-turned-politician and Congress leader Shatrughan Sinha on Monday backed Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's name for leading the party. "It's my humble appeal that she would be apt as the party president to lead ahead. It will be a shot in the arm," Sinha tweeted.

In a tweet, Gandhi said, "I am devastated to hear about the passing away of Sheila Dikshit Ji, a beloved daughter of the Congress Party, with whom I shared a close personal bond. My condolences to her family & the citizens of Delhi, whom she served selflessly as a three-term chief minister, in this time of great grief."

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday accused the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh of being "dictatorially inclined" and said party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's "imprisonment" at Chunar guesthouse is an attempt to trample upon democracy.

Rahul Gandhi, perhaps after a long time lately, directly took on the BJP on Friday soon after Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi was detained by Uttar Pradesh Police. The tweet assumes imporatance as it marks his first direct attack against the BJP in recent times especially after his decision to step down as Congress president in the aftermath of Lok Sabha elections 2019.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was on Tuesday granted exemption from personal appearance by a court here in a criminal defamation case filed by a Gujarat MLA over his "Modi surname" remark.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday raised concern over the flood situations in several states and asked his party workers to help people in those areas.

Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu had submitted his resignation to former Congress President Rahul Gandhi on June 10. Today, Sidhu has posted a copy of his resignation on his official Twitter handle. "I resign as Minister from Punjab cabinet," Sidhu wrote in his resignation letter.

Rahul Gandhi has been granted bail by in a criminal defamation suit filed by Ahmedabad District Cooperative Bank and its chairman Ajay Patel.

The defamation suit was filed last year after Gandhi and Surjewala claimed that the Ahmedabad District Cooperative Bank was involved in a "scam" to swap Rs 745.59 crore in swapped notes with valid currency within five days of demonetisation announcement on November 8, 2016.  

Rahul Gandhi on Thursday raised the issue of Wayanad farmer suicide in Lok Sabha targetting Modi Government. He asked Modi government to fulfil promises he has made to farmers till date.

On his first visit here after losing the Lok Sabha seat, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Wednesday attributed his defeat to local leaders staying away from the people and assured he will not abandon the constituency, party functionaries said. "I will not leave Amethi. It is my home and family," former state Youth Congress chief Nadeem Ashraf Jayasi quoted Rahul Gandhi as saying at a meeting.

Months after the bitter lobbying for the Rajasthan chief minister's post between him and state Congress chief Sachin Pilot, Ashok Gehlot said he became the CM because he deserved it.

Rahul Gandhi, who has stepped down as Congress President, has amassed 10 million followers on Twitter and the Congress leader is gearing up to celebrate the "milestone" on Wednesday in Amethi, the Lok Sabha seat he lost to BJP leader Smriti Irani by 55,000 votes.

Rahul will visit Amethi today for the first time since he was defeated in his traditional Lok Sabha seat in Uttar Pradesh and will hold a closed-door meeting with party workers.
