This comes following a series of suggestive remarks including Congress party downplaying General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vra's comments from July 2019 backing a n-Gandhi president for party, all seemingly hinting towards a possible return of Gandhi family's scion. 

Even as nearly 1000 Congress leers write to interim President Sonia Gandhi demanding an 'urgent organisational change' and a 'change in political leership', history seems to be repeating itself. With internal politics and clashes within party's folds at an all-time high, once-respected loyalists Manish Tewari and Sanjay Jha voice out ir dissent only to be shut down or sacked by grand-old party. However, Vra suggests that decision will be taken 'collectively.'

On August 8,  Congress party’s top leership came to blows over a heated video-conferencing meeting wherein two sitting Congress MPs lambasted party’s senior national leership and, in particular, former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh for dismal electoral performances of 2014 and 2019. 

However, amid recent reports, and suggestive statements by party's leership, it seems like party is hell-bent on going down same path, paving way for ultimate return of Rahul Gandhi as CWC President.
