Rahul Gandhi Completes First Year As Congress Chief Amid Poll Victories

READ MORE New Delhi:  Electoral revival in major Hindi heartland states and democratisation of Congress party’s organizations were the hallmarks of Rahul Gandhi’s first year as the party president.

When he assumed charge, the party was in power in four states — Karnataka, Punjab, Mizoram and Puducherry.

READ MORE Lucknow:  In an apparent attack on Congress president Rahul Gandhi, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has said that “people” are using “Janeu” (sacred threat) and “Gotra” to gain prominence in the country’s politics. “The word Kumbh has started becoming prevalent.
