There are speculations that Rahul Gandhi will take over as Congress president within this year. The change of guard is expected to happen either in April or in November. A section of the Congress guard believed that Rahul’s elevation before Sonia Gandhi’s tenure comes to end in September will send a wrong signal to party workers.

Organisational elections in Congress are going to be held in November and Rahul Gandhi is likely to wait till the election gets over as he wants to work with new team.
