Sonia Gandhi said she was "relieved" and a "weight is off my shoulder" at the change of guard event in which Mallikarjun Kharge took over as the Congress president.
As Sonia Gandhi handed over the leadership of the Congress to a new party president over two decades after she was made its party chief, her "proud" son Rahul Gandhi posted a tribute on social media, saying that his grandmother and former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had once told him that "you were the daughter she never had".

"Ma, Dadi once told me you were the daughter she never had. How right she was. I'm really proud to be your son," said Mr Gandhi, who is leading a Congress foot march from Kanyakumari till Kashmir.
The widely-shared post by Mr Gandhi features Mrs Gandhi with her husband Rajiv Gandhi, a former Prime Minister, who was assassinated by terrorist organisation Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) during an election campaign in 1991.
