AICC finds Bihar win an opportune moment to declare Rahul Gandhi its president

AICC wants to make the most of Bihar election results and is looking a way to announce Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi its president.

"There is a general feeling among Congress workers that Rahulji should immediately take over as Congress president," said party spokesperson CP Joshi.

It seems the Congress wants a reason to announce Nehru-Gandhi scion its president, latest being Bihar victory.

An AICC session is due by December, during which decision will be taken on extension of Sonia Gandhi's presidentship for another year.

Joshi is, reportedly, close to Rahul Gandhi and said the fourth generation scion was the main architect of the Bihar alliance which drew strength from Nitish Kumar, Lalu Prasad and Sharad Yadav.

"The Congress will fulfill its responsibility in successfully implementing the seven-point programme for action projected by Nitishiji during the campaign,” he said.
