Congress MLAs in Karnataka Wednesday urged party President Rahul Gandhi not to insist on his resignation offer following the Lok Sabha poll debacle and continue to lead the party.
The Congress Legislature Party (CLP) at a meeting here passed a resolution to this effect.
It was moved by CLP leader Siddaramaiah and seconded by Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee President Dinesh Gundu Rao.
Briefing reporters about the resolution, Rao said:"we want Rahul Gandhi to continue as the party president as his leadership is required for the Congress and for thecountry."
Siddaramaih said Gandhi should continue as the AICC president and he alone should not take the moral responsibility. "All of us will take moral responsibility."
