Sonia Gandhi became the interim chief in August 2019 after Rahul Gandhi resigned from the post after 2019 General Elections debacle.
“I fully agree with Rahul that a non-Gandhi should be the next party president. Congress party must find its own course and party leaders should decide who should be their leader,” Vadra said, adding that she would accept a non-Gandhi president as her party head, in an interview published in a book India Tomorrow: Conversations with the Next Generation of Political Leaders.
