New Delhi: Sonia Gandhi assumed the presidency of Congress again, two years after she had relinquished the post for her son, Rahul Gandhi.
Sonia accepted the Congress Working Committee (CWC) proposal to take over as interim president.
She was party president for 19 years and during this period, the Congress headed two back-to-back governments at the centre.
After day-long deliberations, the Congress on Saturday failed to name a party leader from outside the Gandhi family.
The Congress Working Committee (CWC)finally accepted Rahul’s resignation.
Randeep Singh Surjewala, the Congress communications in-charge and CWC member, said that the party decided on Sonia Gandhi’s name as it wanted a strong leadership, one whose command would be accepted by all.
