Sonia Gandhi evades question about Rahul's escalation as Congress' president

Ahead of the Congress party meeting on late Tuesday evening, party national president Sonia Gandhi evaded the question on escalation of son and party vice-president Rahul Gandhi as the party president.

"People will come to know of the matter when it happens," she said.

Sonia Gandhi had called a dinner-meeting of MPs and office bearers. Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, former prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh and MP Shashi Tharoor, among others, were present at the dinner.

There have been speculations that a reshuffle in the party is likely to happen after the Parliament Session that is to end tomorrow.
