Letters: Why bank on Rahul?
With reference to Priayanka Rathi's report, "Will he, won't he? Congress sets stage for 'reluctant' Rahul Gandhi to take charge as party president" (November 8), it's strange that despite Congress Working Committee (CWC) members unanimously supporting his elevation as party chief, he was unwilling to take charge.
Letters: May reason prevail

Letters: Responsible group
