Demand of Lok Sabha MP Abdul Khaliq from Congress – Priyanka Gandhi should be made Congress President, gave this argument about familyism
In the midst of preparations for the election of the President’s post in the Congress, the party’s own Lok Sabha MP Abdul Khaliq, while advocating for making Priyanka Gandhi the new President of the party, said that due to being the daughter-in-law of the Vadra family, she is no longer a member of the Gandhi family according to Indian tradition. And they should take this post. Congress MP from Barpeta Lok Sabha seat in Assam Abdul Khaliq tweeted that Rahul Gandhi is refusing to become Congress President again. I consider Priyanka Gandhi Vadra the best candidate. As per Indian tradition, being a member of the Vadra family, she is no longer a member of the Gandhi family.
Lok Sabha MP Abdul Khaliq raised the demand to make Priyanka Gandhi the Speaker
MP Abdul Khaliq said that I have this feeling as a worker of Congress. These workers will decide who will be the president of our party. No one else can decide. There is a feeling of the workers that if Rahul Gandhi is not becoming the President, then Priyanka Gandhi Vadra should become. A few days ago, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot quoted Rahul Gandhi as saying that he and no member of the Gandhi family would contest the election for the post of president.
Shashi Tharoor to file nomination on September 30
Also said that I have requested him many times. He clearly said that I know, everyone wants me to take it, PCC has passed the resolution, workers want it. I have great respect for them. MP Abdul Khaliq has said this only after Gehlot’s statement. At the same time, after the developments in Rajasthan, there is doubt on contesting the election of Ashok Gehlot’s president, although party MP Shashi Tharoor will file his nomination on 30 September.
As per the announced schedule for the election of Congress President, the notification was issued on September 22 and the process of filing nomination papers will start from September 24 till September 30. The last date for withdrawal of nomination papers is October 8. In case of more than one candidate, polling will be held on October 17 and results will be declared on October 19.
