As speculation continues on the next steps, Congress president Rahul Gandhi has said that his party will decide on who his successor will be. Gandhi told when asked who will succeed him as Congress president that, he is not the person to take a decision on his successor. Gandhi is adamant on stepping down as party president following the debacle in the elections, but the CWC, the highest decision making body of the Congress, has rejected his offer to resign and asked him to restructure the party at all levels. The Congress chief also maintained that there was ‘theft’ in the Rafale fighter jet deal.
Gandhi was responding to a question about Rafale finding a mention in President Ram Nath Kovind's address to the joint sitting of both houses of Parliament. He told ‘I maintain my stand that there has been theft in the Rafale jet deal’. He has been maintaining that there has been corruption in the Rafale deal and that there should be a thorough probe into the deal.
The Congress has already petitioned the CVC for a probe into alleged corruption in the fighter jet deal. The government has denied any corruption, wrongdoing or favouritism in the deal.
