For the first time since Congress president Rahul Gandhi dropped the resignation bombshell, allies weighed in on the issue on Tuesday, with DMK chief Stalin and RJD leader Lalu Prasad issuing public statements that the Gandhi scion should continue to lead his party and quitting would be like walking into BJP’s trap.
As confusion prevailed over Rahul Gandhi’s status for the fourth day, indications were that the issue of resignation has been put off for the moment. The party is planning an organisational overhaul of AICC which would be followed by appointments in the election-going states of Maharashtra, Jharkhand and Haryana.
