New Delhi: Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot, Spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala and Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot were Tuesday seen making a beeline at Congress President Rahul Gandhi’s residence following his insistence on stepping down from the top post after the party’s dismal performance in the Lok Sabha elections.
Gandhi had offered his resignation first during the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting Saturday but it was unanimously rejected.
The CWC, which is the party’s top decision making body has also authorised Rahul Gandhi to make structural changes in the party.
Gandhi was slated to meet Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot as well, party source said.
Monday, Gandhi had declined to meet Gehlot despite an appointment and asked him to meet veteran party leader KC Venugopal instead.
The Congress party is expected to call another CWC meeting within the next four days where Gandhi is reported to step down.
