Gandhis Will Offer Resignation At Top Congress Meet Tomorrow: Sources

It is to be seen what the CWC members, filled with loyalists, decide.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi, her son Rahul Gandhi and daughter Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who fronted the Uttar Pradesh campaign, are expected to resign tomorrow at the meeting of its top decision making body, Congress Working Committee or CWC, taking moral responsibility for the party's poor performance in the recently held assembly elections, sources have told NDTV.

It is to be seen what the CWC members, filled with loyalists, decide. It's not the first time that Ms Gandhi and her son are offering to quit.

They have usually rejected the offer and renewed their support for the Gandhis, but this time round even though 56 members from permanent to special invitees have been called, some CWC members are expected to seek changes, say sources.

The Gandhis also realise that the situation is not the same and as one dissenter said their offer would help the party to get rid of the baggage.
