Digvijaya doesn’t rule out Rahul taking Cong command

HYDERABAD, April 2: AICC general secretary Digvijay Singh on Thursday did not rule out the possibility of Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi taking over the reins of the party in near future. “Let’s see,” was Singh’s reply when asked about reports of the Gandhi scion taking over as AICC president in the party convention to be held this year. Rahul Gandhi would be among other leaders who would attend the farmers rally against the land bill proposed to be organized by Congress on April 19 in Delhi under the leadership of Sonia Gandhi, he told reporters here. As for Rahul Gandhi staying away from the Budget session of Parliament, he evaded a direct reply and said, “All of us, his foot-soldiers are present here”. The Congress Vice-President has been the party leader and would continue to be so, he said. (ians)
