The Congress on Saturday rejected party president Rahul Gandhi’s offer of resignation amid dramatic scenes that saw the leader accept responsibility for the Lok Sabha debacle even as he lashed out at senior leaders for putting the interests of their sons ahead of the party.
The Congress Working Committee (CWC), which met to deliberate on the defeat, saw an angry Rahul Gandhi blame party veterans for pushing for tickets for their sons. His intervention came after Jyotiraditya Scindia argued that Congress needed to groom strong local leaders.
