Future of team Rahul uncertain

NEW DELHI: Inducted into key roles with much fanfare and hope, top members of team Rahul Gandhi face an uncertain future as the party deals with the aftermath of its dismal performance in the Lok Sabha elections and Gandhi’s resignation.

Gandhi recently quit as the Congress President, taking responsibility for the drubbing, and many of his closest aides followed him. On Saturday, Keshav Chand Yadav resigned as Indian Youth Congress chief, while AICC Scheduled Caste Cell Chairman Nitin Raut had quit earlier.

Most of the resignations the Congress is witnessing are from the members of team Rahul Gandhi, be it AICC secretaries or a range of state chiefs he positioned in different regions. Within the party, there are already talks that the future of Gandhi’s associates and team members are uncertain as he made a sudden and unplanned exit.
