With this, the process of electing the next president in the Congress can begin. Four other leaders, including Arvinder Singh Lovely, have been made its members. Significantly, Lovely was also among the leaders who wrote the letter.Overall, Rahul Gandhi's trusted leaders have got a lot of space in Sonia Gandhi's new team along with her old confidants. Those who have patience have got a reward. The faction that wrote the letter has not been ignored, but an attempt has been made to give the message of 'discipline' by giving some names.However, the big question still remains that who will be the next president of the Congress in place of Sonia Gandhi: Rahul Gandhi or will he be a leader outside the Gandhi family?( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
