"As far as Rahul is concerned, don't force him. Let him chalk out his own life, his own road map... He is already leading the group to make the 2014 election plan. He is leading the youth wing, the NSUI," Digvijaya Singh said about the 42-year-old son of Congress president Sonia Gandhi who will lead the party's campaign strategy in the 2014 general election.
"Rahul Gandhi is the general secretary of the party, he is in the coordination committee, he has enough work to do," added party leader B.K. Hariprasad.
Rahul Gandhi, the heir of the Nehru-Gandhi family, has been widely perceived as the man who will be party's future candidate for prime minister.

The three-day Congress strategy meet, expected to draw a road map for the 2014 general elections, starts Friday.
