“In view of the feelings of Congress workers, I propose Anil Kumar, President, Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee, that Rahul Gandhi should be made the Congress President again, the country is going through a difficult phase today,” said Chaudhry.
“PM Modi-led government at the Centre has simultaneously attacked the country’s democracy, economy, social and religious fabric. One by one the public institutions failed to discharge their responsibilities. Rahul Gandhi has always warned the country about the imminent threat of the country or as a result three black agricultural laws today,” he added.
After the resolution was passed, Chaudhary told ANI, being a president of the Delhi Unit he has seen the sentiments of Delhi Congress workers and supporters for Rahul Gandhi that only he can fight against the ruling party, BJP.
