Former Delhi CM Sheila Dikshit questions Rahul Gandhi’s leadership, asks Sonia to continue …
New Delhi: Senior Congress leader and former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit on Tuesday voiced her reservations over Rahul Gandhi’s elevation as party president. “There are question marks over Rahul Gandhi’s leadership qualities; Sonia should continue to lead the Congress,” said Dikshit.
The 77-year-old veteran leader said under Sonia Gandhi there was a “comfort feeling” and that the party could rely on the incumbent president’s “overpowering and very successful” leadership for its revival.
“I will not be able to give any idea what will happen or what will not happen. He (Rahul) could succeed. There is another point we must understand that the overpowering and very successful leadership of Mrs Sonia Gandhi is there. So there is a comfort feeling with her,” Dikshit said.
Senior Congress leader and former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit on Tuesday voiced her reservation over Rahul Gandhi’s elevation as party president.
Dikshit said Rahul’s leadership qualities have not been fully tested yet and it would be good for the party if Sonia continues to lead it.
“I am yet to meet anybody who has any critical remarks to make about the leadership of Sonia Gandhi. I can say it with absolute confidence. Whereas (in case of) Rahul, of course, there is a question mark, there is skepticism because you have not seen him perform as yet,” Dikshit said.
