New Delhi: A large section within the Congress has always felt that Rahul Gandhi must come back as party chief and he remains the “top leader” in the party, senior leader Salman Khurshid said on Saturday, asserting that Gandhi should be allowed to make his decision at a time of his choice.
In an interview to PTI, Khurshid also asserted that the Congress was going through a “transitional process”, but there was no leadership crisis plaguing the party as Sonia Gandhi was there at the helm.
His remarks assume significance as they come after voices emerged from several quarters within the Congress on the leadership issue with many leaders, including Shashi Tharoor and Sandeep Dikshit, demanding that the matter be finally laid to rest.
Asked about Dikshit and Tharoor’s views, Khurshid said, “We have had elections in the past. We have also had people say that elections are not necessarily the best thing. There are two points of view. When we get to that point, we will cross the bridge.”
He said talking about such issues in the media doesn’t help the Congress.
On whether there was a dominant view within the Congress that Gandhi must come back as party chief after resigning last year taking moral responsibility for the Lok Sabha polls defeat, he said there has always been such a feeling in a large section of the party. (PTI)
