Congress New President Rahul Gandhi assumes Charge

NewDelhi Dec 16: Congress new president Rahul Gandhi has taken charge from her mother Sonia Gandhi. He was declared as the president unanimously as there was no other person to contest the election . He took charge in a ceremony which was held in the lawns of the party's 24 Akbar Road headquarters in Delhi.

Senior Congress leaders and Former PM Manmohan Singh has attended the event. Later the new president has made his first address and said that "Congress took India to the 21st century, but the Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) is taking us back to medieval times." He added that "I promise to make the Congress a grand old - and young party".



However, experts suggest that It might be a herculean task for him to handle the party and a huge responsibility lies on his shoulders to lift the party as the Congress has suffered a massive political setback in 2014 and lost many states subsequently.
