Rahul likely to resign at Congress Working Committee meeting today

Not just Rahul Gandhi, but several other state unit party chiefs could follow suit

After its abysmal defeat in the Lok Sabha polls, the Congress Working Committee (CWC) will meet on Saturday in the national capital.

According to sources, not just Congress President Rahul Gandhi is expected to offer his resignation taking moral responsibility of the defeat, but several other state unit party chiefs could follow suit. The CWC is expected to reject Rahul Gandhi’s offer of quitting the party post.

On Friday, Uttar Pradesh state party chief Raj Babbar sent his resignation to Rahul Gandhi. The Congress could win only Rae Bareli seat in Uttar Pradesh, while Gandhi lost his Amethi seat.
