Isn't Cong tired of planting 'Rahul's imminent elevation stories': Omar

Rahul should be elevated to the post of Congress party president, said Omar Abduallah

New Delhi: With recent reports on Rahul Gandhi’s probable elevation as Congress party president, former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah took to social media platform Twitter to put forth his opinion on the same. He said that Congress should stop planting ‘Rahul’s imminent elevation stories’ and finally render the Gandhi scion the responsibility of helming party affairs as its president.

“Been reading them for years now. Just do it and let him get on,” he added.

This isn’t the first time when a politician is throwing weight behind Rahul’s elevation.

On Wednesday, Congress leader Capt. Amrinder Singh said that junior Gandhi should be promoted and given the responsibility of the party president. “Sonia is a brilliant leader. I have said she has been working (as Congress chief) for the past 20 years. If she feels time has come to give it to a new generation, then she should pass it on and we will fully support Rahul,” he said.
