New Delhi. There is a section of party leaders in favor of making Rahul Gandhi the President of Congress again. At the same time, a group of 23 leaders want that the next president of the Congress should not be from the Gandhi family. Amidst all this tussle, a senior Congress leader, who is considered close to the Gandhi family, has questioned the mental state of Rahul Gandhi. The name of this Congress leader is PJ Kurien. Kurien has held important positions in Parliament and Congress governments. He has now created a new scenario in the party by calling Rahul Gandhi unstable.
In an interview, PJ Kurien called Rahul Gandhi mentally unstable. Kurien said that Rahul Gandhi does not have stability and cannot be given responsibilities. Kurien said that someone outside the Gandhi family should be handed over the reins of the party. He said that the captain never leaves the ship in times of trouble, but Rahul suddenly resigned from the post of Congress President after the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Kurien said that while Rahul left the post, he continued to take important decisions for the party. The Congress leader also alleged that Rahul Gandhi is surrounded by a congregation which neither knows the organization nor has any knowledge of electoral history.
PJ Kurien further said that Rahul Gandhi takes many decisions after consulting his close leaders. Congress cannot go ahead like this. He said the leaders who intervened to save the party were also ignored. Kurien made it clear by saying that he is close to the leaders of the G-23 faction who raised questions on the Gandhi family. Let us tell you that the Congress has not been able to win a single out of the last 10 assembly elections on its own. Since then, there has been a lot of discontent in the Congress against the Gandhi family.
