Congress must now expedite process of selecting an able successor: Milind Deora

Mumbai (Maharashtra): Mumbai Congress president Milind Deora on Wednesday appeared to be supporting Rahul Gandhi’s idea of electing next successor to lead the party saying, “Congress must now expedite the process of selecting an able successor.” Taking to Twitter, Deora said, “Shri Rahul Gandhi never hesitated to lead from the front. @INCIndia appreciates & values his idealism & courage.
We respect his decision to resign from the post of Congress President. In order to revive, Congress must now expedite the process of selecting an able successor.” The statement from Milind Deora came just hours after Gandhi scion posted a four-page letter on the social media and stated that he had urged the Congress Working Committee (CWC) to constitute a group of people that could find his successor and distanced himself from the process of selecting the next president.
Gandhi in the letter also admitted that he is responsible for the Lok Sabha debacle and is not in a position to elect the new chief.
“As President of the Congress Party, I am responsible for the loss of the 2019 election. Accountability is critical for the future growth of our party. It is for this reason that I have resigned as Congress President,” the letter read.
