The Voting for Congress President polls concluded Monday evening. Congress witnessed a contest for the president post after 22 years on Monday with senior party leaders Mallikarjun Kharge and Shashi Tharoor pitted against each other. No member of the Gandhi family contested for the post of President.
89 years old former PM, who is ailing and has not been in spotlight since testing Covid positive last year grabbed the attention of social media after he came on a wheelchair on Saturday for Vice Presidential Election 2022.
The Congress had announced Charanjit Singh Channi's name as the Chief Minister's face just weeks ahead of the assembly polls.
A team of doctors under the guidance of Dr Nitish Nayak is treating the ex-PM who, sources said, also complained of neck pain.
'His honesty, decency and dedication are a source of inspiration for us all,' he said.
As a senior member of the Congress party, he was trusted by his colleagues to present cogent analyses of political issues and chart a course that others could follow, including the drafting of party manifestos
However, Rahul Gandhi turned down the proposal and requested Manmohan Singh to complete his term, he said at a press conference in response to a question on party General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi's expressed willingness to work under non-Gandhi Congress chief.
Responding to a question during a press conference, in Delhi on Sunday, Congress communication department chief Randeep Surjewala said, 'I will advise friends who are playing twitter-twitter to stop making comments on social media. We have internal democracy. Present your views at appropriate party fora.'
Dr Singh, while addressing the inaugural function of the year-long birth centenary celebrations of the late Prime Minister organised by the Congress's Telangana unit, said he is particularly happy that the programme coincides with the presentation of the first budget of Rao's government by him in 1991.
